The Xbox One edition of free-to-play game Happy Wars was accidentally released today, and that slip-up--which developer Toylogic attributes to a "system glitch"--is causing major problems.

Anyone who downloaded and played the Xbox One edition of Happy Wars (it's no longer available on the Xbox Store) will find that the Xbox 360 version of the game is broken and no longer playable.

Toylogic says in a Facebook post titled "Urgent" that the final version of Happy Wars for Xbox One will be released in the "near future." In the meantime, the developer advises that--if the game is still available to download in your region--you should not do that.

But people who did download and play the Xbox One edition and would like to return to the Xbox 360 version are out of luck, at least for now. This issue will be resolved in the next Happy Wars Xbox 360 update, though no timetable for its release was announced.

"If you have already installed and played Happy Wars for Xbox One, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you," Toylogic wrote.

Happy Wars, Microsoft's first free-to-play Xbox 360 game, was originally released in October 2012 and has seen more than 6 million players. The game was later brought to PC, while the Xbox One version was announced at E3 2014. The game will feature cross-platform play with the Xbox 360 edition (and your saves will carry forward, too), as well as online play and four-player split-screen local multiplayer.
