It seems Halo Infinite is the latest game to join a slew of others that crash on the Xbox Series X. Incidentally, most of these games that crash on the device are developed by EA with the exception of Infinite. In a recent update on the EA forum, it has been acknowledged that there is an issue with Xbox Series X firmware/software that makes it more prone to hard crashes and shutdown. An optional update will roll tomorrow, which will become mandatory on 23rd Nov that addresses the Series X crashing issues on NBA 2K22, Madden 22, Battlefield 2042, etc.
With the recent launch of the multiplayer, users are reporting the Halo Infinite Blue Screen and Hard Crashing on Xbox Series X. While the underlying issue with the game could be related to the other games we mentioned, there are some fixes that you can try before the tomorrow’s update.
