Can the series X give you a blackout for a few seconds

Hi! My name is Pam. I'm an Independent Advisor and I'll be glad to help you today.

That shouldn't happen to be honest. Are you using a power strip or surge protector when plugging in the console?

It's doubtful the Xbox Series X could draw enough power alone to lead to a short. Either a power surge occurred in your area coincidentally at the same time you powered on your Xbox or the outlet your Xbox is connected to is tripping a breaker. Your Xbox likely went into a safe mode when your power went out, requiring a cold boot. Check to make sure you aren't overloading any single electrical outlet as that could also be a fire hazard.

Used to play a lot of blackout but haven't really touched the game since all of those crashing errors in blackout for Xbox One X users where it made people freeze in the last few circles

No, there's an ongoing issue with the store on the Series X|S right now. Give this a few hours and try again, shouldn't be much longer

I'm very sorry that you are experiencing sudden shutdowns on your Xbox Series

Check ventilation: Make sure your Xbox Series X has good air circulation and is not blocked by objects or dust. Sometimes overheating can cause sudden blackouts, so maintaining proper ventilation is crucial.

Update firmware: Make sure your console has the latest firmware update installed. Microsoft often releases updates that fix known issues and improve system stability.

Check the power cord: Make sure the power cord is properly connected and in good condition. A damaged or loose cable can cause intermittent blackouts.

Reset the console: Try performing a factory reset on your Xbox Series X. This will remove any corrupt settings or files that may be causing the problem. Remember to back up your important data before performing this process.
