Known console issues (community-reported)
On Xbox Series X at the September 22, 2026 launch, community reports highlighted texture hitches — visible texture streaming delays, especially when entering built-up areas or the Deep Desert. As with PS5, Funcom has not published official framerate targets, so this guide tracks reported issues and official fixes.
What helps in practice
The practical checklist for texture streaming issues on console:
- Patch first — hotfixes landed September 19, 21 and 22; many streaming issues are fixed in the first weeks.
- Give the first session time — asset caching settles after initial loading.
- Check connection — the game is online-only and texture streaming competes with network loading.
- Report to Funcom support with video; reproducible reports get fixed faster.
Game Pass note
The Xbox version launched day one on Game Pass (September 22, 2026), so the largest installed base is on Series X|S — expect the community-reported issue list here to evolve quickly as patches roll out.
