    I recently wanted to download a new game that just got released in the Xbox Game Pass section. I realized that I couldn't download the game because there was no drive that I could install it. I previously had 4 games already installed and I tried uninstalling 3 of them to see if it would work or not. Are there any ways to solve this problem?
    Thank you.

    Both drives aren't set up for installing games. Are there any ways to have either one to be able to install games?

    Thank you for contact us! I'm Anderson, an Independent Consultant and a Microsoft user like you.

    Good afternoon

    Driver error is usually a problem in the basic requirements of the game. What's your hardware?

    Need help and advise

    Get yourself an external hard drive and either move your games to that or set it up so any future game installs is stored on the drive.

    Xbox says that I've run out of space when I clearly haven't

    I would go to Settings and Storage and check if one of the drives is filled up? There is a setting for default installs, and for save data it will save to the game it's installed on. It doesn't cross over automatically if the first drive fills up to save
    on the second, you have to specific which drive it's installed to.

    So if you have a game installed on internal drive, and your second drive is empty, it won't automatically start using the second drive, you have to move the game to the empty drive to utilize that space. And if you try to install a game and your default
    drive is full, it will not automatically install on the empty drive, it will let you know that the primary is full, and you'll have to switch the default drive or copy titles from one drive to the other.

    If that's not the case, and both drives have sufficient space available, let us know, and we can take a deeper look as to what's happening.

    Error code 0x80070057 when installing almost all Game Pass games (PC)

    Thanks for the help! I tried installing the game on the C drive and that worked. I also tried installing on my third drive (the D drive) and that also worked. However, both of those drives don't have much storage space and I need to use the F drive (the
    one that gives the error) to store my games. Is there any way to fix this issue? Thanks!

    Disks and digital XB1 games both end up reading off the hard drive in the end. So no they aren't any different.
