Just like any other electronic device, your Xbox Series X requires proper care and maintenance to function its best. Here are some tips to keep your Xbox running smoothly for years to come:
1. Keep it clean
Over time, dust and dirt can build up on the console and cause it to overheat or malfunction. Use a soft, dry cloth to dust off your Xbox regularly.
2. Keep it cool
The Xbox Series X is designed to run cooler than previous models, but it can still overheat if it’s in a hot environment or if you’re using it for extended periods of time. Make sure there’s plenty of airflow around the console and consider using a fan to help keep it cool.
3. Don’t move it around too much
Although the Xbox Series X is designed to be portable, it’s best to keep it in one place to avoid damaging the internal components. If you do need to transport it, make sure it’s in a secure and padded case.
4. Be careful with the power supply
The power supply for the Xbox Series X is very powerful and can be dangerous if not used properly. Always unplug the power supply from the wall outlet before attempting to move or disconnect it from the console.
5. Update your games and apps regularly
Games and apps can often have updates that improve performance or fix bugs. Make sure you’re regularly checking for updates and installing them when they’re available.
6. Use a surge protector
Power surges can damage your Xbox Series X, so it’s important to use a surge protector when plugging it into an outlet. This will help protect your console from any sudden power spikes.
7. Keep your discs clean
Discs can get scratched and dirty over time, which can cause them to skip or fail to load. Clean your discs with a soft, dry cloth before inserting them into the console.
8. Avoid using unlicensed accessories
Unlicensed accessories can damage your Xbox Series X and void your warranty. Stick to using official Microsoft accessories or those that have been approved by Microsoft.
9. Get a warranty
In case something does go wrong with your Xbox Series X, it’s important to have a warranty. This will cover the cost of repairs or replacement if your console experiences any problems. By following these tips, you can help keep your Xbox Series X running smoothly for years to come.
How To Turn Off Cross Platform Fortnite Xbox
If you’re playing Fortnite on Xbox One and want to disable cross-platform play so you’re only matched up with other Xbox One players, follow these steps:

2. Select the gear icon in the top right corner to open the settings menu.
3. Select the “Account” tab.
4. Scroll down to the “Cross-Platform Play” section and set it to “Disabled.”
5. Save your changes and exit the settings menu.
You will now only be matched up with other players who are playing on Xbox One, and you won’t be able to see or communicate with players on other platforms.
