Troubleshooting Game Crashes (Console)

If your game crashes, freezes, or closes unexpectedly on console, follow the steps below to resolve common stability issues. Console platforms control system-level diagnostics and crash handling, so this guide focuses on the most effective basic troubleshooting steps.

Before You Start

Ensure the following:

  • Your console system software is fully updated
  • Your game is updated to the latest version
  • There are no known platform-wide service outages

Restart Your Console

  1. Fully power off your console (do not use Rest Mode)
  2. Wait at least 30 seconds before turning it back on
  3. Relaunch the game and check if the crash persists

Update the Game and Console

Crashes can occur if system or game versions are out of sync.

  1. Check for game updates in your console library
  2. Check for console system updates in Settings
  3. Restart your console after updates complete

Reinstall the Game

Reinstalling the game can help fix crashes caused by corrupted or incomplete files. Since consoles don’t support repairing individual game files, a full reinstall ensures all game data is freshly downloaded and correctly applied.
