  1. Xbox Series X overheating during gameplay sessions


    Hello everyone,

    I've been experiencing an issue with my Xbox Series X where it overheats during extended gameplay sessions. After about an hour or so of playing, it starts to shut down unexpectedly, and the console itself feels really hot to the touch. I've tried keeping it in a well-ventilated area and ensuring it's not near any heat sources, but the problem persists. The console is also up to date with the latest firmware. Is anyone else facing similar issues or has any advice on how to prevent this?

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    :)

    Hi, my name is , I'm an Independent Consultant and a member of the Xbox community like you. I understand your problem, don't worry I'm here to help you.

    Usually when there is overheating the console emits a message informing before turning off.

    Try connecting the Xbox to another outlet with a ventilated location to check if the same problem occurs.

    Make a factory reset keeping your games and apps, following this tutorial;

    high-end computer hardware gets hot when it runs, this is its nature.

    If it doesn't say it's overheating, it's not overheating. What you're saying is a catastrophic crash bug and the system shuts down to protect itself

    You need to report these problems to the game developer is only they can patch their game to prevent these things

    don't listen to the ad advisor they have no idea what they're talking about.

    Hi Vasiliki , my name is Joel, I'm here to help you with any problems or questions you may have.

    Vasiliki, it is not something normal and less in this console model since its cooling system is very efficient, has it verified that there is no excess dust in all the ventilation grilles and even in the fan grille? if there are no traces of being clogged by dust, the recommendation is definitely to send your console to Technical Service for a check.

    The fact that the console shuts down directly due to overheating is already a sign that something is definitely not working well.

    Unfortunately you may need a repair and you can do so by following this link if you have warranty

    Xbox Series X overheating during extended gameplay sessions

    high-end electronics get hot during gameplay, because you're working them hard, this is going to continue to happen and continues with more current systems as well. Heat is not a problem, unless the system tells you it's overheating.

    The normal temperature range for a graphics card is in the 80s celsius/180F. they get hot

    Xbox Series X overheating during long gaming sessions

    if you're not getting messages saying you're overheating, it's not overheating. High-end electronics get hot overtime with use, this is natural and normal. A normal operating temperature for a GPU is 80 C/175F

    Games have random performance issues especially if you're playing online, once again this is normal
