Many big game releases come with numerous bugs that still need to be ironed out with patches, but Anthem’s critical bug is hard-crashing consoles.

The PS4 version of the game currently has a score of 57/100 on Metacritic, but it has been even more mercilessly judged by users, who have scored it at 4.2/10. Not only has the game received a disinterested response from critics, it has also been criticized for the high price of buying shards for vanity items, the long loading times, the repetitive grind, and the server crashing problems.

It seems Anthem’s growing list of issues just got considerably longer. The hard crashes experienced by PC users are also being checked. BioWare's Head of Live Service, Chad Robertson, has tweeted that there have been no reported incidents of a PS4 becoming "bricked" and the causes of the unexpected hard crashes have been discovered.

Update March 10: A huge patch for Anthem has been scheduled for March 12, which among other fixes and changes (around 300 in total) will include a fix for the critical bug that has been making PS4 consoles shutdown.
