Chinese Modder Creates Ultimate All-in-One PS5, Xbox Series X, and Switch 2 Console

A Chinese modder named Xioning XNZ has built a three-in-one console that runs PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch 2 games simultaneously. What’s fascinating is that with this system, she can seamlessly switch between platforms in under five seconds. In terms of design, the console is unique. It features a triangular tower with cooling blocks and uses a design heavily inspired by Apple’s 2013 Mac Pro. Here’s everything you need to know. How Chinese modder Xioning XNZ made an all-in-one console Xiaoning XNZ spent several months engineering the system, stripping down the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch 2, removing their motherboards, and integrating them into a single chassis. The entire build revolves around a custom aluminum cooling block, which is by far the most impressive part of the project. Instead of using ready-made aftermarket cooling solutions, XNZ relied on lost-PLA casting, an ancient metalworking technique adapted for modern use, to create a triangular aluminum heatsink that handles the thermal output of all three consoles at once. This was done by 3D printing the cooler design in PLA, encasing it in high-temperature gypsum, and then burning out the plastic in a furnace. The final result takes clear inspiration from Apple’s 2013 Mac Pro chassis, with all three consoles integrated into a single vertical design.

When you press the triangular button on top of the console, the system automatically closes the active game, puts the console into standby mode, and boots the next game in sequence. XNG has integrated LED indicators that show which console is active, with blue showing PlayStation 5, green highlighting Xbox Series X, and red portraying Nintendo Switch 2. The entire platform switch takes just three-to-five seconds. Read more: Should you wait for Apple’s M5 Pro Macs or buy the M4 Max right now? Performance and limitations When tested, games ran flawlessly across all three platforms. Xiaoning XNZ conducted a 30-minute stress test with Elden Ring on PS5, and there were no signs of thermal throttling. Xbox Series X and Nintendo Switch 2 titles also ran without any thermal issues. The single HDMI port is a big win, and this is due to the incredible design choices, aleviating the need for multiple display inputs. However, VRR and other display-specific feature compatibility are not explicitly stated. One of the biggest disadvantages is that the console is digital-only by design, meaning physical game discs are not supported. While the console's PSU power rating, switching, and load-line capabilities are not explicitly stated, running demanding games simultaneously on all three consoles would likely overwhelm the power supply. While this has not been discussed in the video, the possibility cannot be ruled out. In conclusion, modder XNZ has demonstrated a very niche and innovative approach to merging three consoles. While this is highly useful for anyone who is tired of managing separate cables and accessories, those who believe they can pull off this level of modding may find it inspiring to attempt a similar build themselves.
