Fortnite file corrupted- won’t install

Hi Alfie Porter!

Do you have an external hard drive plugged into your console? If yes, please unplug the hard drive and then perform a power cycle before attempting to install the game again, keep the hard drive unplugged.

"POWERCYCLE 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. ​​​"



If you don't have an external hard drive we may need to reset the console keeping your games and apps. Don't worry because as long as you're connected to Xbox Live your saved progress, and games, will not be deleted. It will remove all of your accounts but you can add all of them later on.

Hello Alfie Porter how are you?

My name is Ezequiel I'm an Independent Consultant.

If consultant friend's power cycle doesn't work, I suggest you do a format, don't worry you won't have to download the games again, just enter the account.

Press the Xbox  button to open the dashboard.

Select Profile & System > Settings > System > Console Information.

Select Reset Console.

On the Restore console? screen, you will see three options:

Choose the option Restore and keep my games and apps.

Best bet is to just uninstall it fully and reinstall it while you are sleeping or offline, it will download faster when not playing any games.

Hi,

have you tried deleting the game and reinstall it again to see ift hat fixes the issue

Hey there, SkintTugboat502

This sounds like the download files for Fortnite have become corrupt. Please go to: My Games and Apps > Select Fortnite > Uninstall

Then go to Ready to Install and install Fortnite again.

This should, once downloaded, work for you.

Hope this helps,

Regards,
