"Everyone's Golf WORLD" Release Day "Unusual Statement" - Amidst a Flood of Bug Reports, Bandai Namco "Strives to Investigate the Cause of the Phenomenon"

The latest installment in the popular golf game series, "Everybody's Golf World" (PS5/Nintendo Switch/Steam), was released on September 4, 2025 (with the Steam version on the 5th). Shortly after its release, reports of encountering "issues" began to flood social media and community forums. In response, the publisher, Bandai Namco Entertainment, issued an unusual statement on the official X (formerly Twitter) account on the day of release, stating they are "working to identify the causes of phenomena confirmed on each platform, including improvements in operability." Further updates will be announced sequentially on the official X account. Initial user reviews on Steam started with a "mixed" rating (as of the release week), and the star ratings on the PS Store are also struggling to improve. However, there are generally positive reviews regarding the feel and mode structure as a comeback title for the series. At present, specific details or timing for a corrective patch have not been disclosed. Players are advised to implement provisional workarounds and review settings while awaiting official announcements. How the series' latest installment, which has had a "stormy launch," will recover is drawing significant attention.
