Since its launch back in 2020, the Xbox Series S has gone under fire due to its technical limitations, which continue to be an issue for many developers. The console, however, seems to be indestructible, capable of undergoing major damage, and still work.
As shown in a new video shared by Xbox News on Twitter, the console by Microsoft is capable of surviving even a devastating fire, as it is shown working despite the heavy damage it has suffered. The Xbox Series S may be technically limited, but it is sturdy indeed.

User @demizenc‘s friend’s house burned, including his Xbox Series S. Shockingly, it still turns on and works.
Just last week, we showed a Series S that was completely drenched in a flood and still worked.

As mentioned above, the Xbox Series S is still making life difficult for developers, forcing them to put in additional work to make their titles work properly on it. Baldur’s Gate 3, the third entry in the series developed by Larian Studios, for example, will release next month on PlayStation 5 but not on Microsoft’s consoles due to the development studio still trying to make split-screen co-op work on the Xbox Series S. According to Remedy Entertainment Communications Director Thomas Puha, developing for the console has to take its limitations into account right from the start, which is something that most developers won’t do at the start of the development process for obvious reasons.
As the console is selling well, it is unlikely that Microsoft is going to remove feature parity and leave the Xbox Series S behind anytime soon. As such, it will be interesting to see how developers will continue to find ways to make their games work on the console as they become more complex and demanding.
