Code: 0x87E0000D trying to download Outer Worlds - Series X and PC

flypopper · Jun 25, 2025 at 1:23 AM

Initially, I was unable to open Outer Wilds on my Series X without the game saying I had an update to install, but would not update. After this, I tried to delete the game and then reinstall.

When attempting to reinstall, the game would not install and I only got error 0x87E0000D. I tried the following:

1. Shutting down and resetting the console several times

2. Unplugging the console

3. Signing out and in, both with and without the Network activated

4. Installing other games. I was able to download other games, Outer Wilds is the only one affected.

5. Attempting to install this game on my PC. I received the same error, but was able to download other games on my PC.

I've downloaded Outer Worlds from Game Pass, excited to try it.

None of this helped. I even started to download The Outer Worlds on the Microsoft Store on PC and the download is stuck. The Microsoft Store is terrible and needs a revamp.

Just wanted to say that I am having the exact same issue. Also with Outer Worlds. I have not found a solution yet. My experience was the following.

I had been playing Outer worlds for a few weeks without issue. About a week ago it suddenly refused to open. The other game I had installed, Age of Empires II, also would not open (previously it did open). I then uninstalled both games.

When trying to reinstall Outer Worlds the download refused to work. It simply does not start the download. No error message is displayed. The UI changes to the progress bar but then back to the install button immediately.

I then reinstalled the xbox game pass application. The Outer Worlds download still did not work.

I then tried to download Subnautica. This worked and is playable.

But I downloaded the gamepass for Outer Worlds so...

Everyone who is trying to download the Outer Wilds on PC is getting the error code. It's a server issue, and there is nothing that you can do to fix it, but wait until Microsoft do.
