Check if the ventilation holes are blocked. Make sure to keep your Xbox in a well-ventilated area, not inside a closed cabinet!

If you're playing games on your Xbox for long hours without breaks, it can get pretty toasty. Give it some rest between your gaming marathons.

Dust can be a silent enemy! Clean the vents and around the console regularly to prevent overheating.

Have the console on a hard surface. Sometimes soft surfaces like carpets can choke the vents, causing overheating.
