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?

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.
- Alethes3 months agoSeasoned AceAs 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 had an XSX that would crash randomly didn't matter which game. Whole threads online of people having the same problem but there are some here who seem to know more. So hey, what do I know. Over to them.

In the beta it wasn't just early edition consoles that were having this issue so this has been proven wrong.

So I should just toss my Xbox in the trash or is there a way to fix this?

Same here — I have a 02/2022 Xbox Series X (factory settings, latest Xbox and Battlefield 6 updates) and I’m experiencing crashes anytime: in the menu while browsing maps, after 5–10 minutes of multiplayer gameplay, and even in singleplayer. I’ve never had this problem with any other demanding games like Battlefield 2042, Forza Horizon 4/5, Microsoft Flight Simulator, the NHL series, or Mafia: Definitive Edition.

So just to confirm you have actually bought the game and have tried playing it yesterday and today but are still experiencing the crashing?
If so means no point in buying it then until they address and fix the issue. Strange they haven’t touched on it as many others were raising the problem throughout the beta too.

Yes, I preordered the Standard Edition and have been playing since release. Sadly, I can confirm the Xbox Series X crashing that happened during the entire Open Beta is still happening for me now (over 10+ hours already tried). Most games crash within 5–15 minutes, sometimes instantly. Very rarely, I can finish an entire match, but that’s the exception. Crashes happen in singleplayer, multiplayer, even at the menu/desktop—there doesn’t seem to be any consistent trigger.
What I’ve tried so far:
- Unplugging all cables and letting the console rest
- Cleaning all console air vents and dust
- Factory resetting the console
- Installing the newest Xbox updates
- Reinstalling the game multiple times
- Switching endlessly between Fidelity and Performance modes (no impact on stability)
- Reporting crashes through Xbox’s Report a Problem app and EA support
I have no idea what else to do to play a $69.99 game without constant crashing :-(
