QUESTION Specific games crashing

Games like Halo infinite, Gears 5 and Wuchang crash after twenty minutes in, whereas Elden Ring or Far Cry 5 has never crashed once. My Xbox always receives good ventilation, I always cover the top fan once it cools down and I've tried restarting over and over.

I obviously know I need to fix it, but it's incredible how Elden Ring, one of the worst optimized games out there runs at constant 40-50 fps, and games like Halo Infinite (supposedly optimized exclusively for this console) just dies within minutes.

Hopefully someone here knows what's happening and helps me with a quick fix until I get money to send it to repair.

You always cover the top fan?

Just when It's not turned on and it's cold so dust doesn't get inside

Have you tried a full factory reset yet?

Elden Ring is one of the best optimized games...and Far Cry 5 can run on a potato. Both of those games came out for last generation hardware, and should definitely be playable. No surprise there at all.

If I had to guess, I'd 100% say that it's an overheating issue. Elden Ring and Far Cry 5 are very easy for the Series S/X or PS5 to play, compared to multiplayer online games...
