Playing in 4K HDR whenever the camera moves there is a continuous flicker of the entire screen to black. Doesn't appear to happen with any other game so far.

When does this occur? Is there a certain time or situation that this starts? Are you using 120hz display with that enabled on Xbox series X? Maneater doesn't support 120hz but we did see some weird visual behavior when it was turned on at a system level.
The more details you can share the better we can investigate.

It was pretty much constant as soon as there was a 3D scene on display.

Yes 120Hz. Disabling The variable refresh rate ditched the black flicker or setting it to 60Hz and leaving it on.

I saw it happened in Sea of Thieves as well and the Microsoft advice was to update the TV firmware (that seems to have broken 120Hz all together from xbox to TV)

Glad we pin pointed the issue.
