Game keeps crashing back to home screen on console
Games crash from either a corrupted game file, a storage problem, or an outdated game. We will delete and reinstall the game first, which fixes most crashes. If the crash is hardware-related, we will clear console storage space and restart the system.
When a game keeps crashing, it is caused by a corrupted game file that got damaged during download or an update. Another common cause is that your console is running low on storage space, which stops the game from writing data properly. We will reinstall the game and make sure you have enough storage. If crashes continue, we will clear the console cache.
- ✓Have the game or app ready to launch so you can test after making changes

Skip, I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Only restarting the console instead of actually deleting and reinstalling the game. A restart alone does not fix a corrupted file
- Not waiting for the game to fully install before launching it. Installation needs to complete 100 percent
Signs you need professional help
- If the game crashes even after deleting it completely, updating the console system, clearing cache, and reinstalling with enough free storage, there will be a hardware issue with your console. Give us a call and we will test the storage drive.
