Control Ultimate Edition launched on Xbox Series X|S earlier this week, and while it looks fantastic, it seems some players are encountering an issue which is causing the game to completely crash.
Players have taken to Reddit to share their experiences with the game and how it appears to be crashing on a fairly regular basis. Some are reporting the game will last around 30 minutes before crashing to the dashboard, while others have said it will happen sporadically and have encountered it upwards of five times during their playthroughs so far.
As of yet there is no workaround, and Remedy is yet to confirm whether the team is working on a fix. Still, it's better to be aware before diving into Control Ultimate Edition. Hopefully a patch is in the works in the relatively near future.

Hmm, I haven't noticed any crashes at all. I haven't played the game in large marathon sessions, so maybe I am not playing "long enough" at one time for it to crash? But I think I played one day for about 90 minutes with no issue - other than the already noted stutter that happens when the big text pops up on the screen.
I don't use Quick Resume - still just an old habit to close out games when I am done. Load times are quick enough that the few extra seconds for a fresh boot of the game don't bother me - especially given the huge improvement over playing this on an Xbox One X!
I’m a couple of hours in (on XSX) and had no crashes so far. Have been using QR as well. Guess I’ve been lucky (it’ll crash on me tonight now I’ve said that!). Also, on the subject of Control...after trying out both Graphic modes I can say that the performance mode (60fps) is way better.
I've played for a few hours; it's completely locked up once and booted me out to the dashboard twice.
I haven't played it.. But alot of games on the series x have been crashing
Locked up and crashed to Xbox dashboard twice on me.
That and the stutters mean I'm leaving it for a patch.
They really need to get that under control.
Played some more today and in under an hour I had two more instances of being booted to the dashboard. I think I'll leave playing on any further until it's patched.
Haven’t played this as 505 didn’t give me a free update over my Xbox one version , but have had no issues over the PS5 one
I have the Xbox series x and yes the game crashes constantly. I suspect there is a memory leak as it tends to happen during longer play sessions. Keep in mind by long I mean 45 mins or longer. Not infrequent to have 3 crashes in an hour. Usually happens at control points but can vary. It’s better when I completely close game. Do not trust fast resume.
