  4. Paste in all copied files into the Save folder

Console players also report the game crashing bugs connected to the corrupted save files, but only on Xbox One console. The Xbox Series X/S users don’t have this game crashing issue.

If you’re experiencing the game crashing on Xbox One during gameplay, then consider the following:

  1. Change the difficulty mode from Normal to Expert or vice versa
  2. Save the new file on the new chosen difficulty mode
  3. Keep playing and saving the game only on the new mode

If you try to switch difficulty modes on different save files, then this may corrupt them and crash the game. So choose one new mode and don’t change it in the course of the game.

Another reason for corrupted save files on Xbox One console could be the issues with Microsoft servers. But in this case, all you can do is wait for them to fix these internal bugs.
