    Will my Xbox one work fine in the cold and humid?


    Hi! i have an Xbox One S in my house but the problem is that i live in a very cold and humid place so the humidity inside and outside my house is normally 90-100% humidity which means my walls are always wet (iv'e tried dehumidifiers but they are not enough.)

    The only heating i have is my coal/wood fire in my livingroom but it only heats up that room + i don't want to game in the livingroom so it's pretty normal for any water in the sink or moisture on the walls to be frozen in the mornings so I'm scared for my xbox because the water will collect inside the xbox and then freeze when i turn it turns off which might break the xbox.

    I have a ps2 which has been working fine all these years but iv'e also had monitors which have broken due to the humidity or the plastic compnents have become brittle and snapped in the cold so i know only some electronics are fine.

    I'm fine with leaving the xbox on 24/7 so any water won't freeze but will the xbox be fine in 90% to 100% humidity?

    :)

    Halo 4 xbox

    Have a thermometer with a humidity sensor in it? See if the humidity is exceptionally low in your environment (25% or less).



    If the humidity level is fine consider exchanging it at your retailer for a new one.

    Would being in winter have anything to do with the humidity being low?

    Strangest fault. Ok I seem to have the only Xbox with this fault

    I'll try the power cycle next time it happens, not holding my breath on it working though as the Xbox switches on for literally less than a second. No humidity in the room, it never gets cold enough to see your breath. It doesn't take a large temp drop to
    cause the fault, were only talking a few degrees Celsius for it to occur.

    What Xbox games do you feel have the most immersive weather and ambient sounds, list your top 3!

    Metro: Exodus nails player immersion. You can almosy taste the dry sands in the desert, feel the biting cold snow and ice in the city and smell the humidity in the metro tunnels/flooded tubes.

    That is a little strange. You'd figure that cold temperatures are ideal for electronics that get hot.

    Have you first tried a proper power cycle whenever it did that?

    If anything, I could only guess that cold temps could be damaging to the Xbox if the room humidity is unusually high (meaning there's a lot of water vapor in the air, 60%+?), which might be a complicating factor for electronics in general. This could be
    the case if you can see your breath when it's especially cold in your house.
