Infinity Ward says it has identified an issue resulting in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare crashing Xbox One X consoles.

On Friday the company said the issue was affecting “a small number of Xbox One X players”, although Reddit users have since reported experiencing crashes on other Xbox One models too.

In an update posted on Reddit, the game’s developer said it was working with Microsoft to resolve the problem.

“We have identified an issue that is affecting some players on Xbox One X,” Infinity Ward said. “Players affected are experiencing crashes. We are working with Microsoft to address the issue.

“We genuinely can’t thank you all enough for providing us with your ongoing feedback this launch, every bit of information helps. Stand by for more updates on this issue soon, and thank you for your patience and your help while we work towards a solution.”
