The issue was reported by Eurogamer to appear 6-8 hours into the campaign of Watch Dogs: Legion for the Xbox One X. The game seems to freeze at one point of the game when the Xbox console itself warms up and even shuts down in some cases. The Xbox One X is designed to shut down every time the device is pushed beyond its heating capacities. Though the issues were first only reported by one reviewer by Eurogamer, many reviewers playing the game on the Xbox console then started coming forward and declaring that the game has an intense bug.
