The Xbox Series X<\/strong> releases in a month and prospective pre-orderers are hungry for any information about the console. $499 is not a small sum to pay and the past generation’s launch woes, whether\u00a0it be noise or heat, still stand out in pre-orderers’ minds. It’s understandable then that there’s some worry, following at least one (now deleted) report from preview coverage of the Xbox Series X <\/a>saying it’s “hot, like really hot!” But the story has now progressed to a point where the Xbox Series X’s heat issues appear to have been exaggerated.<\/p>\n

Reporting about an apparent heat issue with the Xbox Series X comes from French outlet Jeux Video. Jeux Video’s Ken Bogard reported that the Xbox Series X output a lot of heat<\/a>, describing the console as “almost like a fireplace shaft.” Separately, Giant Beastcast co-host Jeff Bakalar also said their pre-launch console as provided by Microsoft was “a little toasty” even in standby mode. With many reporters still limited by embargoes regarding Xbox Series X coverage, a question grew as to whether the console had heat problems.<\/p>\n

Since then, there’s been somewhat of a call for calm. For one, Jeux Video has pulled the video containing the comments about heating. It’s unclear if this is due to Xbox Series X preview embargo issues<\/a> or due to the reporting therein. The Verge’s Tom Warren has also added a comment on the topic. In a post on Twitter, Warren first says that he’s under embargo. But he does question the nature of the story. “Microsoft wouldn’t send these consoles to 100s of journalists, streamers, and YouTubers if they had head issues,” Warren states.<\/p>\n
