Can't install Halo 5 from disk on my Xbox One S

CyberAkumaZero · Jun 10, 2025 at 2:03 AM

I just got this system so I am not too familiar with installing games on it. I put in a Halo 5 disk and I see it say "installing"... and it's been hours. It keeps saying "installation stopped" and then it resumes again, and never seems to finish. It feels like it's been stuck at 75%, I even left it overnight and it still never finished!

What could be the cause of this? Is the disk bad? Something wrong with my harddrive? Bad internet connection? Trying to Google it I mostly saw people saying it's a space issue, but my system is a 1TB model and I have no other games installed on it.

Hi CyberAkumaZero, I hope you're doing well. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you.

Let's perform troubleshooting steps on your console. First, we will need to perform a Power Cycle on your Console.

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. Turn your console back on by pressing the Xbox button on the console or the Xbox button on your controller.

Once done, kindly check if you will encounter the same issue.

If you still encounter the same issue, let's try to perform a workaround. Please follow the steps below:

1. Cancel the installation and remove the disc.

2. Restart your console.

3. Launch the Xbox app on your phone and search for the game.

4. Click the game and choose "Download to Console"

5. Wait for the game to install completely before inserting the disc to play it.

I have a xbox one s and halo 5 on disc . I would get the disc version of this game install it offline that way you can skip the update . I did this before on my xbox one s.

Depends .

If it is a disk game and you are trying to transfer to an xbox one s digital or the xbox series s then no you are waisting your time

Those are digital only consoles and disks installs require the bluesy or dvd to validate the install

Digitally purchased game's can be transfered to save time yes

If it's to an xbox one x or regular xbox one s or xbox series x disk and digital will work with them

Are you talking about a digital install or a disk install ?

If disk install then it won't work on the xbox series s you need the digital copy either buy one or get gamepass

Only digital copies work on serirs s

Ya what you did was skip the instructions

First and foremost disk copies cannot be installed on a xbox series s

Second you have to uninstall your install from the disk from the external drive first then buy the digital copy

Digital copies are completely different from disk copies

Installing it on a external.drive will show as owned but not the digital copy since you installed using the disk however your serirs s cannot validate without q drive
