How to Find an Xbox Series X or S IP Address
If you’re sure that your Xbox Series X or S is connected to your network, here’s how to find the IP address:
Does the Xbox Series X or S Need a Static IP?
Your Xbox Series X or S has an IP address just like any other device that connects to the internet, and Microsoft makes it pretty easy to find. As long as you have access to your console, and it’s connected to the internet, you can get the IP address in just a few simple steps. By default, your Xbox Series X or S receives an IP from your router automatically. That means it can change over time, if your router decides to assign a new IP. If the console ever ends up being assigned an IP that another device on your network is trying to use, that can cause a conflict that will result in connectivity issues.
Assign a Custom Static IP
The Xbox Series X and S also allow you to assign a custom static IP if you’re having network conflicts, but that’s best left alone unless you know what you’re doing. You normally won’t have to assign a static IP, but doing so can resolve the problem if you do end up having a conflict between your Series X or S and another device. Having a static IP also allows you to forward various ports, if you end up needing to do that to get multiplayer or voice chat working. For example, you may need to forward ports to a static IP to fix a closed network address translation (NAT) problem. If you are experiencing that type of problem, you will need to forward ports using your router.
