If I want to say that my game crashed in this instant could I use both sentences below?

1 my game has just crashed

2 my game crashed

If not, then what is the difference between 1 and 2?

If you are talking to someone and your game has crashed in just that instant then you may say either 1 or 2.

However, you may also use 2 to describe your game crashing at any point in the past.

Both work the same, but option 2 sounds much more natural. Option 1 makes you sound like a robot, so I would recommend avoiding it.
