If you have signed up for our private preview, you will be able to activate the App Center integration. When you link your App Center titles to a PlayFab title, you will be able to see crash data in the diagnostics tab in Game Manager. You can check the blog for more.

If you haven't signed up for the private preview, there should be a way on game engines to send a custom event to PlayFab when the game crashes. However, PlayFab doesn’t provide such API to track the game crash, you can only use PlayFab API to send the event. The way of tracking the game crashes depends on the platform you used to develop the game. You can directly search the exception handling mechanism of the game engine that you used by yourself. Generally, game engines would provide some callback functions to developers to add their exception handling logic. You can send the custom player event in them. Besides, You can check Custom event overview for more about custom events.
