idk if legit, and if so, I dunno if this is from the same person, but I saw two videos of smoke coming out of an Xbox Series X

Videos circulating on social media appear to show smoke pouring from the vents on brand-new Xbox Series X consoles.

In a post on Reddit last night, user Hirsutophilia jokingly told members of the Xbox Series X subreddit that his friend's Xbox Series X "came with a campfire feature." In a short video, the console can be seen in an upright position on the floor, with smoke coming from the vents at the top.

In a response to a repost of that video on Twitter, user Arek_Adamowicz said they were suffering from a similar issue, posting their own video which showed even more smoke coming from their console. On Reddit, another user said their Xbox had also started smoking and giving off a funny smell, leading some people to suggest that the malfunction was due to a burned-out electrical component within the console.

At this point it's too early to say whether this is a widespread issue, although launch consoles can sometimes suffer from unexpected faults. Reaching out to Xbox Support is likely to be your best bet if you're affected by a similar problem, as it might help to determine the scope of the problem. Last week, a PS5 overheating in a supermarket display case was unfortunate for Sony, but these billowing Xboxes mean Microsoft will be hoping they are the exception to the rule of there being no smoke without fire.

Imagine buying a console at launch. No games, faulty experience all around, might burn your house down etc.

My 1 year rule wins again baby.
Never buy a launch Sony/MS console.
Wait a year for updated models or go the extra length and wait for the new versions.

Not gonna lie though this shit looks suspect. The one literally looks like a vape cloud and the video ends right as ALL the smoke is dissipating at the same time. I'm gonna shakily call shenanigans until some actual confirmation.

Still gonna be some nice memes out of it.

Yeah. For there to be smoke, something needs to be burning. What's in there that's burning so much to produce that much smoke? I can't imagine what

yea, I'm not sure about that one, but the second one looks more believable, IMO, with the case no longer being straight up black, but kinda faded, like the casing has been around heat or something

That one with the vape looking cloud is sitting on some pallets for some reason. That one's the most fishy to me.

hopefully this is what's really happening, and people are blowing vape smoke into their consoles rather than some bigger issue
