Xbox Series X Freezing on a certain game and affecting other games.

Hi guys. Figured I'd reach out here in the actual community to see if this has been a growing issue. I've got a handful of responses in the original reddit post I made on a certain game (NFS HEAT) as so far I've only experienced the issue with that game.
The original post is here. The problem itself affects more than the game I was playing and so I am worried that
there is an underlying issue that may need to be solved either by the game developers or Microsoft. Below is basically a summary of my issue.

Had my Series X for almost a month now and have had no issues except for this one game: NFS HEAT. It froze on me once where I can't even go on home and close the game.. so I forced turn off and restarted. Tried running it again and worked fine.

Second freeze happened in less than an hour and I was in an xbox party and noticed I was still able to talk, so I went home and closed the game and relaunched it but got stuck on a black screen after the title card.

Hard restarted the xbox again and the 3rd time it froze I decided to launch other games to see if they worked and all I got was either looped audio (quick resumed games), no audio, or a black screen after the title card (unsuccessful launch).

I got scared and thought my SSD was screwed.. but I hard restarted again and just decided to play other games (the ones I tried opening before) and I had no issues for the rest of the night.

I'm actively avoiding NFS HEAT right now, and so far it has only happened with that game. What concerns me is the fact that when it crashes, it somehow affects the rest of your storage by not being able to play other games properly. Back in the Xbox One,
when a game freezes (with Xbox UI still functional), I just go home and force close the game. After that, I boot it up or play another game and it works fine. This problem is unique to the next gen console where a game freezes and you can't even play anything
else unless you do a hard restart.

I'm hoping someone in Microsoft notices this since there seems to be a few cases of these on the same game, but also other games as well.
