"Leap Year Glitches: How Feb 29 Is Causing Chaos in Video Games"
TL;DR Summary
EA Sports WRC is crashing on start-up on February 29, 2024, due to it being a leap year, prompting players to change their console's date to March 1, 2024, as a temporary fix. EA is investigating the issue, and fans have compared this to a similar problem with Theatrhythm Final Fantasy on Nintendo Switch. The developer, Codemasters, is not the only studio to overlook the leap year, and players are hoping for a permanent solution to prevent future occurrences.
