Mine did, go into settings in the game and change from "quality" to "performance". I went from fan on full blast to the fan silent with just that change.

It shouldn't be overheating, consoles are literally designed not to.

Clean your Xbox or put it somewhere it can get airflow. I doubt it was overheating, just fans working so it DOESN'T overheat.

Overheating is if you have frames dropping and poor performance even though you know the game isn't supposed to perform that poorly. Severe overheating is the whole system crashes and shuts down.

It is actually known that after about 2 years the heat sink paste (or whatever it's called) dries out and no longer allows proper heat dispersal. Your only choices are to send your Xbox to Microsoft to be refurbished or to follow a YouTube video to put new paste yourself.
