Those Smoking Xbox Series X Videos Are Fake

If you were lucky enough to get an Xbox Series X this week you kind of expected some launch issues to happen with the new system, but what you won't have to watch out for is your console catching on fire like these fake videos.

Earlier this week, videos surfaced online showing several Xbox Series Xs catching on fire and having smoke come out of the system's vent, but it turns out they were fake!

Apparently people are trying to blow their vape smoke into the console and then immediately turn it on to make it appear as if the console is smoking from playing Fortnite or Assassin's Creed Valhalla.

You can see some of the videos below and, like the fake ping pong video, you can rest assured that your console won't spontaneously combust at any time!
