I'm having the same issues. What makes you think it's an Xbox issue I'm just curious
Because my son owns 3 Xboxes! so this is what happened.
buys a series x for my son Christmas present not long after the released.
every game worked fine. Until he wanted to play battlefield!
roll on the following Christmas, he get a second Xbox series x from his mum (we are separated so now he has Xbox at both our houses) he tries battlefield on new Xbox has zero problems!
so I go out and buy him another for at my house and guess what? It works perfectly.
so I think anyone that has early(ish) batches of Xbox series x will have this problem.
funny thing is it wasn’t just battlefield that had the problem on the faulty Xbox also WWE2K did it! But also fine on his other 2

It's just weird because I don't have this problem with any other games. I'm not the only one having the problem either

Trust me that’s what I kept saying, when did you buy the Xbox? Also why did Microsoft offer me a free repair even when it was way out of warranty? They know they had a dodgy early batches of Xboxes but didn’t want to admit and look embarrassed

Oh they offered you a free repair? I believe I bought it in 2020 or so. I remember they were hard to get. I contacted Microsoft and my next step is to do a hard reset on the console which I really don't feel like doing. Did they make you go through that process also? I didn't realize they offered to fix it

Yes I tried everything nothing helped, you need to speak to someone on the phone and don’t give in say you had a bad batch! And funny that as I think that’s when I got mine

I hate to admit this but I believe a bad batch to be the only correct answer. Funny how I bought mine at a similar date - fairly quickly after they were released. I have the exact same issue, but with literally any new series X version of an EA game.
the only thing I put it down to is that they were rushing consoles out as the hype was huge and they were hard to get. I have tried literally every troubleshooting step. Contacted both EA & Microsoft who eventually offered me a refurbished console, for free. Considering my console was about a 2 years out of the standard 1 year warranty. Either way I declined, bought a new one myself and can now play fine.

Dammit.... I might have to take the refurbished one then. I can't afford a new one at the moment
