Can't Download Game Updates on Xbox Series X: Error Code 0x8B050033

Hi there! This is Virginia O.

I understand that you want to install update for your game however it isn't working.

I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

Wait a little while and then try updating your console again because sometimes, this error occurs when Xbox servers are undergoing maintenance.

And then restart your console. Perform a hard restart of your Xbox Series X by holding the power button for about 10 seconds until it turns off completely, then turn it back on.

After this one, please restart your modem/router as well in order for your network to fully refresh.

Next is to clear persistent storage: Go to Profile & system > Settings > General > Network settings and select Clear persistent storage. Restart your console after clearing the storage.

Please test it out if the game update installs this time.

Thank you for your cooperation.
