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.
🧭 Official Response & Pending Fixes
Big Ant Studios is aware and working with Microsoft to resolve the patch issue; they’ve confirmed an update is in review.

✅ What You Should Do Now
Check for Game Updates
On Xbox, repeatedly check the store for a pending update—it’s being processed by Microsoft.
On PS5, ensure auto-updates are enabled and restart the console.
Try Offline Mode (Xbox Only)
Switch to offline networking in Xbox settings to access play modes temporarily.
Log In Repeatedly (PS5)
Press “X” to sign in at the title screen several times until it works.
Restart Everything
Fully close the game and reboot your console before reattempting login.
Monitor Official Channels
Follow Big Ant Studios on X/Twitter for announcements and patch notes.
Document Issues & Contact Support
Take screenshots or record errors and report them to Big Ant’s support team via their forums or official channels.
⏳ Patience is Key
This is a server-side and platform synchronization issue, not a fault with your console or internet. A fix is underway, but for now, keep trying the workarounds above.
