How to clear the cache on an Xbox Series X

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Clearing the cache on an Xbox Series X can improve performance by removing temporary files that may have become corrupted. This process involves turning off the console, unplugging it for two minutes, and then pressing the power button multiple times before reconnecting the power cord. While generally beneficial for issues like loading errors in games such as Rocket League, some users have reported varied experiences, including potentially longer loading times for games like Microsoft Flight Simulator. If performance issues persist after clearing the cache, a console reset is recommended. AI
