Although the latest edition in the Battlefield The series officially launches on November 19th, folks who have spent extra cash to play Battlefield 2042 say the game won’t stop crashing on Xbox Series X
“I only play a few minutes, sometimes an hour and suddenly my whole Xbox shuts down.” reads a post pinned above of Battlefield 2042 Forum for technical questions.
Since yesterday afternoon the thread has received over 100 replies, most of which come from others Battlefield 2042 Players who describe the same problems. Some point out that the crashes have been a constant problem since the game was unlocked, while others mention that they can only play for a few minutes before experiencing another console crash bug.
The EA community seem to go out of their way to help frustrated gamers on the thread, but the possible solutions they have provided – simple things like making sure the console’s firmware is updated – haven’t stemmed the flow of complaints. And similar stories crop up elsewhere, with many indicating that the problem was widespread in beta as.
“I played a few matches with my buddies” explained one r / Battlefield2042 user. “Then in the next game I had no problem for maybe 10 minutes, then boom, Xbox Series X shut down completely.”
“This needs to be addressed urgently” wrote another. “If you can’t finish a game and your entire console turns off, it’s bad.”

“I didn’t pay $ 120 just for the game to bring me back to the dashboard every single game.” said a third.
Correctly, Battlefield 2042 Early access costs extra. Whether pre-ordering the Gold and Ultimate Edition bundles (USD 89.99 and USD 109.99, respectively) or an active EA Play Pro membership (USD 14.99 / month or USD 99.99 / year) more for the seven-day head start to pay.
While there have been isolated reports of similar issues on other platforms, Xbox Series X owners seem to be hit hardest by a sizeable margin.
EA declined to comment when contacted by Kotaku about this current situation.
