Why does it keep going back to home screen when I try and play a game? It loads for a few...

Hi! I'm Luis, a fellow Xbox Gamer . Thanks for reaching us out here.

Are you getting any error code?

In the mean time let´s try performing a power cycle

Power Cycle:

1. Turn off your console by holding the Xbox button on the front of the console for approximately 10 seconds. The console will turn off.

2 Unplug the console

3. Wait for 5 minutes and then turn your console back on by pressing the Xbox button on the console or the Xbox button on your controller.

I had this same exact issue. I am not sure why it does this but I went back to the home screen. Loaded a different game in my case I loaded Killer Instinct. Went back to the home screen. Loaded Watch Dogs back up. Went back into the mission and didn't
have a problem with it after that.

Ok, now that i used a seperate gamertag and played the game there(even after the update is applied), i decided to go back to usual gamertag and have another crack at loading the game, But now it does'nt freeze and it sits in the loading screen trying to
load, and load and load and just keeps loading....... the chickening is a walking but not getting anywhere.... the tips are displaying repeatedly but it's still not getting to the game to play.... why o why

I keep clearing my cache and it keeps trying to automatically update the game and when I cancel it takes me back to my home screen

My son is going crazy as he's dying to play it.

This is the problem when trying to load the my career instead of it saying the name I assigned to my player like John and my last name it only shows a bunch of Asterix not my name and does not load and freezes back to the home screen and I cannot play the
game at all
