Not able to start an online freeplay match. Not sure whats going on with it

Hey there, any Error 90 messages when trying to start an Online Free Play session should be fixed now. Try it again and let me know if you're still having trouble.

After our v2.46 update, we're aware that Xbox Series X and Series S players are missing the "Video Quality" setting. This is capping players to 60 FPS or below.

We're currently investigating and will provide an update when we have one.
