Anthem’s got a crashing problem on every platform – and it’s reportedly bricked PS4s

BioWare’s latest has had a rocky launch, as optimisation problems, glitches, and server issues have kept players from enjoying the game to its fullest - and even the full experience has its limitations, as noted in our Anthem PC review. But the problems seem much worse on consoles, as the PlayStation 4 version is crashing so hard it’s shutting the entire system down. The game’s been affected by crashes since its launch via EA’s subscription services a little over two weeks ago, though it didn’t reach PS4 until the official release date on February 22. Reports of system-level crashes on Sony’s platform have intensified over the weekend, with plenty of people hitting up social media to vent their frustration. Reddit user TheMadTitanGauntlet says “My playstation has been completely bricked to the point of not even turning on because of Anthem,” as noted by Kotaku. The site also received “tips from players affected by the issue, including at least one who says that Anthem bricked their PS4 as well.” Some players have reported success in receiving refunds for that version of the game, despite Sony’s typically restrictive refund policy.
