Could there be a bug that has high severity but low priority? If yes, give an example.

Question

Accepted Answer

Yes, a bug can have high severity but low priority, affecting critical features but not needing immediate attention.

Example: A crash occurs in a game during a rare event, affecting only a small percentage of players.
Example: A visual glitch in a non-playable character that does not impact gameplay or player experience.
Example: A major bug in a game mode that is rarely used, such as a seasonal event that is not currently active.

Accepted Answer

In my experience as a game tester, I’ve seen bugs that are very serious but don’t need immediate attention. For instance, if there is a major crash in a late game level that most players don’t reach quickly, it won’t be a high priority to fix right away. However, it is still a high severity issue because it affects gameplay significantly when players do reach that point
