Following several reports of Anthem crashing on PlayStation 4 systems, BioWare has identified the causes of the issue and is working on a fix coming next week.
Revealed in a Tweet from BioWare’s head of live service Chad Robertson, the developer has “identified several causes for the temp power-down crash some PS4 users experienced. Fixes for the top issues are in patch next week. If you encounter a game crash where your PS4 console won’t respond, you can manually power down and restart it – no risk of damage.”
After thorough review, we have not encountered an instance where Anthem has “bricked” a PS4 console. If you are experiencing anything different, please reach out to @EAHelp so we can track the incident and investigate. Thanks for your patience.
