Can Macbook Air overheat?

I'm just wondering if an Early 2015 Macbook Air could overheat from running a game continuously for 6 hours or more?(Provided there aren't any malfunctions in the Mac, and it is placed on a flat surface)

Macs can't be damaged just by using them, even for games that require maximum performance for hours on end.


Just be sure to give it every opportunity to keep itself cool. Read Keep your Mac notebook within acceptable operating temperatures.
