NHL 22 gets a new update on PS4 and PS5 that could finally allow you to get rid of desyncs and crashes in the game. The patch will be available for Xbox players at a later date.

Every year, Electronic Arts launches a new entry of the NHL series in silence, and to be honest, the game doesn't make significant progress year after year, and you can get it from the media reactions and community feedback loud and clear.

Based on what we saw from reviews, NHL 22 doesn't seem to be anywhere close to the best entry of the franchise. However, it's currently the only annually-releasing Hockey simulator game on the market, so, players actually don't have many choices here.

Today, EA Sports launched a new update for NHL 22 on PlayStation consoles. This new patch fixes the desync and crash problems of the game. Unfortunately, the patch notes don't provide detailed insight into the exact fixed issued.
