Detroit Become Human Keeps Crashing on Windows 10/11? [Fixed]

Detroit: Become Human is a popular adventure video game released by Sony Interactive Entertainment in 2018 for Microsoft Windows and PlayStation 4. Sometimes, however, many players report that Detroit Become Human crashes on Windows 10/11.

According to a survey, the problem is often related to high system requirements. With at least 55 GB of free space, Detroit’s Become Human PC is challenging for many players. Here are the minimum system requirements of this game:

Minimum System Requirements of Detroit Become Human PC:

• OS: Windows 10 64-bit
• Processor: Intel Core i5-2300 @ 2.8 GHz or AMD Ryzen 3 1200 @ 3.1GHz or AMD FX-8350 @ 4.2GHz

In addition, the Detroit Become Human crashing can be caused by other factors like outdated/incompatible graphics card drivers, conflicting software, improper game settings, and missing/corrupted game files.

Fix 1. Make Sure Enough Disk Space for the Game

Like many other video games, Detroit Become Human requires your PC to have enough disk space. It requires at least 50 GB of available space to install on Windows 10/11 or more while playing the game. So, it’s important to ensure enough space for the game.

How to create enough disk space for the game? Most of us usually have 2 main options: the first is to free up disk space, and the other is to upgrade to a larger HDD/SSD. You can free up disk space by deleting unnecessary files, uninstalling programs, running disk cleanup, etc.

However, if your PC has a small size of hard drive installed, upgrading to a larger HDD/SSD should be a better choice. How to upgrade a hard drive without reinstalling OS? MiniTool Partition Wizard is such a tool that can migrate OS and even copy the whole system disk without reinstalling OS.

Step 1. Launch the MiniTool software to enter its main interface and select Migrate OS to SSD/HD Wizard from the left pane.

Step 2. Select Option B to copy the system-required partitions only, and click on Next. You can select Option A if you want to copy all partitions on the system disk to the new hard drive.

Step 3. Select the target disk you want to migrate OS to and click Next. Then click on Yes to confirm this operation.

Step 4. Select a copy option based on your needs and click on Next to continue.

Step 5. Read the information and click the Finish button in the next window. Finally, click on Apply to execute the pending operations.
