Original story (published on October 29, 2021) follows:
If you are into sports video games, chances are pretty high you have heard of Riders Republic. Developed by the same studio that brought us Steep (Ubisoft Annecy), the game was launched on October 28 and is published by Ubisoft.
The game lets players choose between five activities – snowboarding, wingsuit flying, skiing, mountain biking, and even rocket wing suiting. According to Ubisoft, Riders Republic is a massively multiplayer sports game.
It is an open world that features several American national parks and combines them into a single map. In case you aren’t interested in the multiplayer aspect of the game, Riders Republic also features a career mode that allows you to enjoy the game solo.
The multiplayer mode allows more than 50 players to play against each other. However, the console version of the game allows only up to 20 players.
However, soon after it’s release, Riders Republic players say the game is crashing on the Xbox Series X. While most reports suggest the crashes occur when playing mass races, others say the game crashes randomly.
Players said they did not experience such issues when playing the trial version of the game. Thankfully, Ubisoft seems to be aware of Riders Republic crashing on Xbox Series X and said it is currently under investigation.
As it turns out, that is not the only bug currently affecting players. Some are saying that the Riders Republic pre-order Bunny outfit ismissing. It seems that players were able to equip the outfit sometime ago but it seems Ubisoft has disabled it now.
Many were confused as to what happened to their Bunny costume. Thankfully, Ubisoft cleared it up ans said they the Bunny Costime was not missing and they disabled it to investigate an issue.
Update (November 10)
IST 10:50 am: Riders Republic now reports back that a bug-fix update has been seeded out to users on Xbox Series X|S and Playstation 4|5. Affected players should, therefore, update their consoles.
