Severe screen flickering on Xbox Series X/S – Xbox (since launch)

Hello,

I’m reporting a severe screen flickering issue on FC 26 for Xbox, which has been happening since the game launched.

Platforms affected

• Xbox Series X / Series S
• Xbox One (Xbox One version of the game)

Issue description

• On Xbox Series X/S, the screen flickers continuously in menus and during gameplay, making the game almost unplayable.
• On the Xbox One version, the flickering happens only in the menus right after launching the game. Once entering a game mode, it usually stabilizes.

Since when

• This issue has been present since launch day
• I have been asking for help since release, but so far no solution or acknowledgment has been provided.

Troubleshooting already done

• Tested on multiple monitors
• Tested with different HDMI cables
• Issue occurs on both Series X/S and Xbox One
• Disabled:
• HDR
• VRR
• 120Hz
• Dolby Vision
•  
• Forced 1080p / 60Hz
• Power cycle and cache reset

➡️ The issue persists in all cases, confirming it is not hardware-related.

Additional notes

This strongly appears to be a video handshake / refresh rate management bug, especially in the menus where resolution or HDR seems to switch dynamically.

Impact

• On Series X/S the game is highly unstable
• On Xbox One the menu flickering is reproducible every time the game is launched
• Overall experience is severely compromised

I’m requesting official acknowledgment of this issue and information on whether a patch or fix is currently being worked on.

Thank you.
