Listen, these crazy stunts are stupid. It doesn’t mean people will stop doing it for clout, though. This video of someone blowing substances into their Xbox Series X has gone viral. Well, to be exact, videos of people’s consoles overheating, with smoke flowing from the device. This has of course worried potential buyers of Microsoft’s next-gen console, but an unofficial Xbox Studio Twitter account has called out the videos as fakes:
Apparently, all it takes is for someone to blow vape smoke into the console to pull off the effect.
Almost ironically, the revelation of how the “trick” worked resulted in even more people trying out this DIY Xbox Vape. The situation may have gone completely out of hand that Xbox finally made an official statement: Do not blow vape smoke into the console.
