Xbox crashing/overheating
Soon as marathon game loads, xbox fan begins running loud. Xbox acts like it is overheating causing game client to crash or shut down entire xbox. Console has been cleaned of dust and doesn't happen with other games. Fan immediately goes silent when closing game. Wondering if its a weird issue with marathon game data. Started happening after patch on April 29, 2026.

Hi there,
Thanks for the report.
If you are still experiencing crashing and overheating, can you please try the following:
Also, please make sure your console has good ventilation. Overheating can trigger safety shutdowns that look like random crashes.
Hi Bungie,
I have tried this and still have the issue.
Hi again,
If the console is still getting hot enough to shut itself down only while playing Marathon, please send us a bit more information so we can investigate:
Your Xbox model (Series X or Series S)
Whether the shut down happens in menus, in‑match, or both
Roughly how long after launching it occurs
Any error codes or messages shown on-screen or in your Xbox error history that occurred when playing Marathon (for example, codes starting with
0x...)If possible, a short video clip showing what happens leading up to the crash/shutdown (you can capture this with a phone pointed at the screen if needed). You can upload the footage to a public video hosting site, like YouTube, then post the link here.
Xbox series x.
Console is still cool to the touch just the fan goes crazy.
No error code just screen goes black and either the client closes but more often the xbox just shuts down.
Xbox does say it shuts down due to over heating but again it does not feel hot at all.
Issue happens almost immediately after entering menus when starting game client. Was able to do one match once but no more.
Thank you for responding.
Hi there,
Thanks for those details..
Here are a few additional things to try:
Check your console placement and airflow
Confirm your install location
Reduce the rendering load
Disable Quick Resume
Close background apps
Grab error details from the console if it still shuts down:
Because the entire console is shutting down and showing an overheating message, this is also something we recommend raising directly with Xbox Support so they can double-check for any hardware or firmware issues, even if the console doesn’t feel hot to the touch.
