Seems the xbox hard crash issue is still present in the full game, Any idea on what causes it / how to fix it? Its only on battlefield 6 i have this problem so im wary of a hardware issue but seems to be limited to said console Be half way through a game and it just flashes green and boom turn off CM title edit

if you had crashing issues on the Battlefield 6 open beta, I unfortunately have bad news as this problem is still very much happening. Three out of the four games I played crashed within 5/10 minutes, one of which shut off my entire console (as was the case on the beta). I have gone ahead and already requested a refund. Extremely disappointed.

I am experiencing frequent crashes while playing Battlefield 6 on my Xbox Series X (purchased February 2022). The game often crashes (after playing from 5 to 10 minutes) to the Xbox desktop or occasionally causes the console to shut down with a black screen. This occurs in both multiplayer matches and single player campaign, as well as during map selection in custom search.I have tried both Performance and Fidelity graphics modes.Other demanding games on my console (Battlefield 2042, Forza Horizon 4/5, Microsoft Flight Simulator, NHL series, Mafia: Definitive Edition) run for hundreds of hours without crashing, so I don't think it's an issue with my console.I have already reset my console to factory settings and confirmed the latest updates from Xbox and Battlefield are installed. Please advise if there are any known issues or workarounds, or if there is a fix planned. I really want to play this game as a BF 20+ years veteran.

I had this issue on Beta and now on the release. They won’t/will not acknowledge the issue. I am so pissed I was excite me this whole week to play BF6 on Friday but was only left with disappointment. I’m just going to get a refund. Very disappointed in EA/Dice.

Not sure if some were aware but there was an issue with a large number but not all Xbox series X players where the game would crash all the time and even turn the console off. I have been waiting until release to see and hope that this issue had been fixed. To those who had problems in the beta if you have bought it is it actually working or still the same problem? TYIA

Same problem here. Series X runs every other game fine, but BF 6 crashes it after about 20 minutes. Console is clean in both fan and heat sink areas.

I'm in the same position, keep checking back to see if it's still an issue before buying.

Same here. Seems like a lot of players can't even buy the standard edition rn. There is one thread on reddit with the same issue reported.

Same, Intel 14700K and 6950XT. I get a few minutes into a game and bang to desktop with a direct x GPU has been removed error and AMD driver. AMD drivers are quite often terrible but its frustrating to have issues like this as the Beta was actually ok for me, but I have a feeling I was running a really old AMD driver at the time. Might roll back and see what happens.

As I said elsewhere: some initial XSX console batches had a hardware defect that shutdown the console in a variety of games. This is not exclusive to EA or BF. I had one such—I speak from first-hand experience.

As you stated yourself: "(...) an issue with a large number but not all Xbox series X (...)".

There's no point waiting for EA/DICE to fix anything about this: as it has nothing to do with them.

If that is actually 100% the case then is there anything I can do with it being a hardware defect that’s not my fault?
This has literally only ever happened with battlefield 6. Every other game I have ever played I’ve had no issues with including battlefield 2042.

I'm able to load the game but after 20 seconds the game freezes and brings me to xbox menu. Tried to reinstall, delete cache, everything. The game is broken for me.
