My game doesn't launch

Sometimes a game will refuse to launch, with no error messages, even though it worked fine the last time you played. Here are a few simple things to check before trying any more drastic fixes.

PC

Verifying game files

Steam

1. Right-click on the game's title in the games library section of the Steam client
2. Select Properties
3. Select Local Files
4. Click 'Verify integrity of game cache'

Steam will then replace any missing or corrupted files, and you can then try running the game again.

Epic

In the Epic Games launcher, please go to your library and click the three dots next to the game's title, then select Verify.

When verifying has finished please try running the game again.

GOG

1. Select the game in your GOG Galaxy library list
2. Click the More menu button next to Play
3. Click Manage…
4. Click 'Verify / Repair'

When verifying has finished please try running the game again.

System Requirements

Double-check the game's system requirements, which you can view on the game's store page on Steam, Epic and GOG.

If your system is below the minimum requirements, it will struggle to run the game properly.

Consoles

Please make sure your system software is up-to-date:

• On PlayStation 4 Go to Settings > System Software Update
• On Xbox One,  Select Profile & System > Settings > System > Updates & Downloads

 You’ll be able to see if there are any available updates for your console.

Next, make sure your console has been properly shut down and restarted, rather than a soft restart.
