You’re encountering the “Error Signing In” issue on Rugby League 26, particularly prevalent on PS5 and Xbox, where players are locked out despite game downloads completing.
Here’s a comprehensive breakdown and what you can do:
⚠️ What’s Causing It
-
Server & Update Sync Issues
-
Xbox users receive a message: “A new version is available, please update,” yet no update appears due to a delay in patch distribution from Microsoft.
-
PS5 and Xbox players report being signed out or stuck at the title screen even after multiple sign-in attempts.
-
-
Fan Hub & Pro Team Glitches
-
Players on all platforms see internal server errors or can’t upload custom players.
-
Career modes and Pro Team remain locked out until login is fixed.
-
🛠️ Workarounds Players Have Found
-
Keep spamming the sign‑in button
-
PS5 users say hitting “X” repeatedly (15–20 times) eventually logs them in.
-
-
Play offline on Xbox
-
Offline mode bypasses the update requirement—though online features remain inaccessible.
-
-
Restart your game and console
-
A simple reboot can sometimes re-establish the sync.
