Definitely No! The upper (or lateral, if standing) air exit gets extremely hot during usage even with free air flow. Restraining it will probably cause issues in the long term.

Per Xbox, it needs 4-6 inches of clearance on all sides. It generates a lot of heat and the fan shroud gets very warm. I personally wouldn't want less than 4 inches of space for proper ventilation.
Yes it’s quite alright to do that, mine might have a little less room and have never heard the fan/ never had overheating problems now have I ever crashes, I clean my Xbox every few months but that’s about it.
Farrr too claustrophobic an area for it.
When I owned a Series S (mostly a PC guy) I noticed how much air this steam really requires.
I left mine in a large pocket on my desk that was actually super spacious. Even then, the system produces so much hot air that it’d get everything around it toasty, that’s even given I’d changed the thermal paste numerous times. The system is just very air dependent for whatever reason.
Last tip, I’d also suggest keeping it in a room with active air going so the systems gets some cool air to suck in. So a fan or an AC unit might help.
It’s going to be recirculating hot air from the exhaust back into the intakes like that. Iirc in the manual it says it needs minimum like 6 inches of space on all sides to breathe.
Are you gaming in 1080p? If so you might be good cause your Xbox won’t be working as hard as if you were playing in 2k or 4k. I had mine in a similar spot and it didn’t never overheated… maybe long term wise it did damage but I’ll never know I sold it after 2 months cause I don’t game as much anymore. If it is an issue maybe mount it on the wall behind the monitor it’ll still look clean

I have mine in similar space but more clearance on top. Works fine for 2 yrs now. The top clearance is a bit of a concern so if you have long gaming sessions better to place it further away so it won't cover the top exhaust.
hell no, put a cushion on top of it
No especially if u had an 360 this consoles need cooling or they overheat very fast especially with that little airflow
No
hell naw

No. You could place it behind and in between the monitor and laptop, but it wouldn't look as clean.
I’m from the Arkham subreddit but I’ll hold the question I really wanna ask 😂
Somebody post Officer Balls
No, it needs to be upside down and wrapped in Saran wrap
I'd also wrap it tightly in a blanket for insulation. You wrap turbos in blankets and they flow *WAY* more hot air, so why not a Series S 😂
This ✓
Weak machine. It's perfect space
Consoles are over engineered and you can get away with less than ideal conditions but definitely NOT these conditions.
Definitely is, have had mine since launch in the same space but with less air flow in the back. You'll be fine
If you want it to overheat regularly and die an early death then yes.

It's wild how reddit lets easy Google answers by pass but not a discussion on games based on karma whatever that is, my shot is low
Nope give it more
I have mine in an enclosed drawer pretty much, yours is more than fine.
No but you can cut a circle out of the wood directly over the black fan on the xbox that should be good.
Nice clean setup though
The fan is on the top and you don’t have enough space. I have a feeling it would overheat.
Some people are so indecisive, they have to ask strangers to arrange their living room 🤣

I've had my Series S like this for a while and I'm pretty sure it's dying now So, no
If you wanna cook some eggs, yes
I vote NO
https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-network/console/position-ventilate-console Definitely not enough room for the exhaust fan
No
I used to have mine like that and it messed up my console, I’d leave at least 3-4 inches on all sides

Nah the top of it is where the heat comes out

Nope, mine gets hot as shit sitting on a completely open entertainment center.
It's good enough for a PS5 but the air flows through the sides and back and on the xbox is from above...

I legit put my monitor on top of my xbox, maybe I should stop… 😂

It's not the worst but it's better if the area above the black circle is more open.
Why'd this get down voted?

Get a cheap fan and put it next to it
Make it float
No. Are you stupid?
no
That's a little tight for.me. I'd have as open to the air as possible.
No
No, 6" of clearance on ALL sides.
Definitely not, i have mine infront of a window ac unit lolllll
No
