If you’re experiencing crashes while playing FIFA 22 on your Xbox Series X|S, there are several solutions you can try to fix the issue. Here are some possible workarounds:
Solution 1: Close FIFA 22 and re-open it
When a game crashes, it either becomes unresponsive or just closes by itself. But most of the time, its service will be left running in the background. So what you have to do first is to force stop the game and then try to run it again to see if you can play smoothly after that.
- Press the Xbox button on the controller to pull up the side menu.
- Highlight FIFA 22 and press the Menu button.
- Now, highlight Quit and then press A to close it.
Launch the game again and see if it still crashes at some point. If it still does, then move on to the next solution.
Solution 2: Check the Xbox Live Status page
Server issues can mess up your gaming experience as well, that’s why if FIFA 22 started to crash out of the blue, then there’s always a possibility that it’s due to a server-related problem. In the case of this game, you will have to check Xbox servers.
- Open a web browser like Microsoft Edge, and then log on to support.xbox.com.
- Once the page loads, click Xbox Status.
- Now try to see if some of the services are down or having some issues.
Solution 3: Restart your Xbox
After restarting the game and checking the server status and the game continues to crash, the next thing you have to do is to refresh the memory of your console by rebooting it. The issue can be due to a minor technical problem which can often be fixed by doing a simple reboot.
- Press and hold on the Xbox button on your controller.
- When the Power center shows, highlight Restart console and press A.
- Select Restart and press A to confirm the reboot.
The reboot will take less than a minute to complete, so once your console becomes active, open FIFA 22 and see if it still crashes.
Solution 4: Delete FIFA 22 cache
Your console’s operating system creates temporary files and saves them locally to make your gaming experience smoother whenever you launch the app. However, those files have a tendency to get corrupted and when that happens, various issues may occur while you’re in a game. So delete the saved data so that your console will create a new cache.
- Press the Xbox button on your controller.
- Highlight My games & apps and then press A.
- Select See all to view your games and apps.
- Now highlight FIFA 22 and then press the Menu button on the controller.
- Highlight Manage game and add-ons and then press A.
- Select Saved data, and then select Delete all to remove the cache of the game.
Once you’ve done that, open FIFA 22 again and see if the problem still occurs.
Solution 5: Check for software updates
It’s highly recommended to check for software updates on your Xbox console before going to any conclusion. An outdated or buggy software build can also cause several issues whatsoever.
- Go to the Settings menu on the Xbox console.
- Select System > Go to Updates and Downloads.
- Wait for around 5 minutes to refresh the system and then plug the …
If none of these solutions work, you can try uninstalling and reinstalling FIFA 22. If the problem still persists, you may need to contact Xbox support for further assistance.
