And in worst case scenarios, it could mean losing your progress in a game.
Fortunately, Microsoft has revealed four golden rules to prevent such a thing from happening.
These will help current-gen consoles like Xbox Series X but also previous-gen, Xbox One.
Stable surface
Your Xbox needs to be on a stable surface to perform properly.
So somewhere like the floor on a stack of books won’t cut it.
Avoid speakers
Speakers or subwoofers can create a lot of vibrations.
The rumbling from it can cause issues for your Xbox, so don’t put your console on top of them.
Keep it cool
There’s a lot working around in your Xbox which generates quite a bit of heat.

The console needs to stay cool to do its job properly, therefore it needs to stay away from direct heat sources such as other electronics, radiators and the sun.
Give it space
Your console needs space to let out all that hot air.
It can’t do that if there are objects cluttered around it blocking the vents.
