THQ Nordic says it’s ‘aware’ of AEW PS4 crash complaints

THQ Nordic has said it’s aware of widespread crashing issues being reported by players of AEW: Fight Forever on PlayStation 4.

The wrestling title was released last week, and social media users have since reported experiencing repeated crashes when trying to play the game on the last-gen machine.

“I can’t even play Road to Elite right now at all because it keeps crashing.  Also can’t edit created characters without crashes,” wrote one user.

Another added: “Trying to play it on ps4.. it started crashing after my son created a character and tried editing the moveset. I uninstalled and reinstalled. Every single match type now crashes before it starts. Terribly disappointed after waiting 3 years for this.”

Responding to the complaints, THQ Nordic wrote: “We are aware of game crashes with #AEWFightForever on PlayStation 4 and are looking into it. Sorry for the inconvenience!”

AEW: Fight Forever is a spiritual successor to N64 classic No Mercy, developed by veteran wrestling game studio Yuke’s.

VGC’s Chris Scullion wrote in our AEW game reivew: “AEW’s first game gets a lot more right than it does wrong.

“Its Story mode may be a little short and it may be lacking when it comes to customisation options, but its solid in-ring combat system, its sense of humour and its emphasis on violence make it a viable, edgier alternative to the glossy WWE 2K series.”
