I know it's not ideal, but have you considered a factory reset to see if going back to default settings plays a factor? 2 players in this thread were able to fix it with a power cycle, perhaps running through it one more time might do the trick?
One more time is very unlikely to fix this because I've done it at least 15 times. Doing a factory reset of my entire xbox is a hard sell when this issue is limited to one single video game.

Agree, which is why I don't want you to go that route for one game unless it's one you absolutely want to play. I don't want you to feel like a guinea pig either. At this point I feel like we're tapped out on troubleshooting steps though and we'll need to start gathering Gamertags to see if we can find a common denominator among the accounts that are impacted. If you want to drop your Gamertag below we can pass it along to the teams here that will review them for bug tracking.
I really appreciate you patiently going through the troubleshooting steps with me and wish we could have come to a solution.
If anyone else comes across a solution please share it here. - 5 years ago

@EA_Blueberry I haven't reinstalled it yet. I think I'm probably just going to let this one pass me by. I loved the game, but I probably won't end up playing it again for a few months. Hopefully when I decide to jump back on there will be a fix in place. I'll definitely be on the lookout for any new entries in the series that are built for the PS5 and Series X.

any updates on if that fixed it or not?

Have you tried all the steps provided in this thread? This appears to lean towards a hardware issue that can be corrected through troubleshooting as others have successfully done in the thread.

This is happening to me as well. And only Need For Speed Heat. The game freezes everyday for me. I uninstalled it. It's a shame because I like this NFS and love the Need for Speed franchise, played every Need for Speed since Underground. Brand new Xbox Series X since last week, every game is fine but this one. This is a game issue, no troubleshoot will fix this. Gamertag is Kouhad. Happens day time, night time, solo, online, during a race, not during a race. I can play for hours straight, or just 20 minutes, then boom freeze or audio loss with graphical errors.
