Op I will like to know more about the information you gathered about mining on a Xbox series x because I have one and I got tired of it, now I play games on PC, I know that the series x have a very good GPU but I can't find any information about using it for crypto mining.

For now it's mostly speculation, here and there you have a thread popping out like this one: https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/po2uzk/i_created_an_opensource_ethereum_miner_for_xbox/

But I'm still researching and will link you too it soon Smiley

In general though, all the current gen consoles are capable of doing it, it's just a question on how much and how long they can sustain it.

I'll keep you posted! 
Mining on game consoles was relevant during the shortage of video cards and their very expensive cost. Mining was very profitable, so laptops and game consoles were used for mining. Now it is irrelevant and not profitable due to the end of ethereum mining and the presence of a large number of inexpensive video cards on the market.

but for the future you never know.
This is true, but we cannot make an assumption.
Game consoles use the same graphics chips, if they don't nitpick a lot about technical issues.Game consoles are not designed to be mined 24 hours a day. First, a new ethereum should appear, which will give a big profit for GPU miners, but I don’t think about it now.
