NHL 25 keeps crashing on series x

Could be an issue with your console. I could leave some troubleshooting tips if you'd like.

I had similar things happen with games and the series x just simply not performing. Do a factory reset but keep your apps and games installed (there will be an option for that). It helped a lot of issues I had. 

However, there still is an issue with NHL 25 after playing about the 2 hour mark where the game performance will degrade and it can crash to the xbox dashboard. Just restart your game every 2 hours. 

Hopefully that helps. 

yeah any tips will help at this point

Yeah please anything will help

• Check for possible overheating
  • Touch your console, it is normal for it to be pretty warm however if it is hot to the touch it may be overheating
  • Ensure your xbox is being properly ventilated and nothing is obstructing the ventilation ports.
  • Game crashes, unexpected shutdowns, excessive fan noise, lagging, freezing, screen tearing and in general performance drops are all potential signs of overheating.
  • Switch to Energy-Saving Mode in your Power settings
  • Clear any dust or debris from the fan/ventilation ports.

I recommend trying these out in the order listed as I have listed them in order of how drastic they are.

If all of them do not fix your issue you could try doing a full factory reset where it deletes everything. If a future patch doesn't fix the issue and your xbox is under warranty you could try to create a repair order to have your Xbox repaired or replaced entirely.

Nothing has worked unfortunately I contacted Microsoft support and they told me because it’s no longer user warranty that I would be charged $299 to send it in and get it fixed.

i had to get a external fan, the game overheats my xbox. No other game does it though

Out of curiosity, Series S or X? I can understand a series S overheating given the environment its in but a series X should have no problems

Series x

Any updates on this? I’m going to try and buy 26 on disc to see if that changes anything, doubt it will, but who knows
