The latest title by Bioware and Anthem was already having a choppy as it is while this new problem is even more severe as it is causing hardware problems for different players around the world.
What started as normal players sharing experiencing became a global problem when players all over the world started reporting their own PS4 crashes and some even reported that their PS4s were bricked after the game crashed their systems. EA has officially announced that the problem exists and they are looking into it.

EA has also started a new thread and is asking all players to share their problems and details about the crashes in the thread as it will be useful in fixing the problem. EA has not announced when the fix will be made live however we are sure that EA will not take long to fix the issue because it is a major problem for the PS4 players.
Anthem suffered from poor sales when compared to other Bioware games however it still managed to claim the top spot for physical sales in its first and second week of sales in UK. Apart from that, critics have been very hard on the game and the game has received very mixed reviews from both players and fans.
Our writer, Talha was also disappointed with the game and shared his views about how EA and Bioware lied to fans about the game and its future content. This recent problem will surely support his case even more. If you are having similar problems, make sure to visit the official support thread and share your feedback there.
