Issues Identified and Being Investigated by Ubisoft:

The following issues have been acknowledged and being investigated by the developers and the technical team at Ubisoft:

Unable to switch to Snow Sports

I just unlocked snow sports, and now the game is prompting me to switch from my bike to my new skis. I follow what it says, and when I get to the screen where you switch sports there are no skis there. I’m currently stuck on my bike at the top of mammoth mountain and the game won’t let me do anything else until I switch to snow sports, but there’s no skis to switch to! Could you please help me get my skis to switch to or something?

Thanks

Game keeps crashing on Xbox Series X

Well I pulled the trigger and ended up purchasing the game even though I had all the crashes during the trial..

Ten minutes into the santa Cruz bike challenge and stutter, followed by freeze, hung for about 30 seconds and then quit to the dashboard……

So disappointed and don’t know Wether to laugh or cry at this stage.. a whole lot of money wasted and no resolution in sight..

Was really hoping it was an issue only with the trial but looks like there are major problems on xbox series x. I see there are already multiple forum posts and social media reports on the same issue.

This needs to be number one priority for the developers as the game is unplayable for a lot of people.
