If you are worried about overheating when your console is off go to settings and turn on energy-saving mode this will turn the console completely off when not in operation. Hope this helps.

Thanks for asking! No, Xbox Series X should not overheat, either in operation or when turned off. First, we recommend placing it in a well-ventilated spot with 4-to-6 inches of space around it and make sure that all vents are unobstructed. If that doesn't help, please contact Xbox Support for assistance here: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/contact-us
