ESO causing excessive fan noise with XBOX One X

This has been especially noticeable since the Murkmire update:.
  • Boot up XBOX. Silent.
  • Open ESO, fan starts to ramp up.
  • Play general content, fan noise becomes more noticeable.
  • Word boss fights, dolmens, Trials fan is louder still.
  • Log out of ESO, all fan noise immediately ceases.

Is there some sort of game optimisation that is now missing from the game that is causing this unnecessary noise?

I do not experience this issue with any other game played on the same console and the simple fact that is only starts when I launch ESO (and ends immediately after closing ESO) means it's the game and not the console.

    Have you blown the dust out of it recently?

    The console is not that old that it would have acquired dust just to spin fans in ESO and no other game.

    That's odd. My ps4 is practically silent when playing eso, only time it somewhat ramps up is during big battles in cyrodiil or if there's tons of people at a dolmen.

    For the avoidance of doubt, I disconnected my XBOX and have blasted it with compressed air. No dust came out and it's still noisy as above.

    Mine has no issues,make sure the console can move cool air in and hot air out, dont place in a closed cabinets or near a heat source like the sun or a heater

    You should try ps4 launch version. It sounds like a jet engine no matter what you play.

    Heat rises so if you use your console vertically it stays cooler
