So ive been seeing a few post online, including a deleted reddit post claiming it was possible:

We know that the hardware in the Series X (and Series S to a lesser extent) is RDNA2 and of course very capable of a decent hashrate.

What some may not know is that the Xbox Series X has a 320 Bit memory bus, even the 6900 XT only has a 256 bit bus. 560 GB/s vs 512 GB/s.

So one could expect at least 60 MH/s, but likely closer to 65 MH/s. Series S would likely be around 30 MH/s.

Ive read that you can load your own apps through dev mode ($19 upfront cost), so certainly it seems like something that can be done.

Ive got a Series X that sits around not doing much 95% of the time, really want to put it to work. Anyone here know anything about this? These are very powerful and cheap rigs if this can be easily done.

1. Series X is protected against mining.
2. There's no cryptocurrency miner that can mine on Xbox/PS
3. I don't have one of these consoles, but like laptops, it probably doesn't have enough cooling to substain the 100% GPU use 24/7.
4. You could just buy a new GPU for the same price and mine with it and earn much more (And with drastically less risk)
