The bug would appear towards the last stages of the game, when at the entrance of a certain door the message: "the software has been closed because an error has occurred" may appear.
This possibility exists if you previously placed a marker on the map in the room beyond that door.
To resolve this issue, Nintendo currently proposes to restart the game and remove the marker from the map. This way, you shouldn't run into any problems.
However, a free patch that will fix this bug will be released later this month.
Finally, we remind you that Metroid Dread was released on October 8 and is available exclusively on Nintendo Switch.
