So, based on some of the research I did on this matter - yes, in theory you could get malicious software on your console, however, in practice it's nearly impossible as of now. Also, with the Xbox One switching to Windows 10 as its OS viruses could potentially be a bigger threat for all Windows systems. Explore distant lands, fight bigger and more awe-inspiring machines, and encounter astonishing new tribes as you return to the far-future, post-apocalyptic world of Horizon. The bad thing, though, is that game consoles don't have any virus protection systems in place, as far as I know. Join Aloy as she braves the Forbidden West a majestic but dangerous frontier that conceals mysterious new threats. I doubt that just messing with your machine is a prime goal for most viruses. Most computer viruses target PC specific software or hardware (for example, a Windows system file, or registry) since the creators of malicious software get very little gain from targeting a gaming console.Again, pretty rare nowadays with all the website safety warnings and e-mail filtering. Basically, the only way to get it without connecting it to a PC would be to open a website or e-mail attachment that could, let's say, inject malicious code targeted towards Xbox into your system. You can't actually download anything from IE on Xbox, so that eliminates the easiest way to get a virus.However, it would be a pretty rare occurrence for several reasons: According to this post I found, you can indeed get a virus on Xbox 360, at least.
