    Game Launch Failure


    So I am trying to open one of my games installed via Microsoft store, but once it's done loading it takes me to the home screen and completely exits out of the game. Does anyone have a solution?

    :)

    Hi

    It could be a corrupted download, Have you tried uninstalling, Clearing local saved games and then installing again ?

    Hey there, have you tried to Power Cycle your console? To do this hold down the Xbox power button for 10 seconds, hopefully, this works. If not, a quick uninstall and local saved games clear could do the trick.

    one of the first things i tried, already tried, power cycling makes no difference to the launching of this title.

    try to power cycle your console. Please hold down the power button on the front of the console for approximately 15 seconds until the power light shuts off. Wait about 60 seconds, then power it back on. Be sure you see the green "XBOX ONE" animation loading
    screen when you power it back up.

    Does the game simply show the splash screen and returns to the dashboard before the game's main menu appears, or is the game actually starting and crashes to the dashboard when you are supposed to press A or otherwise start the game?

    Can you also try to hold the power button on the console for about 10 seconds, then turn the console back on, and make sure it shows you a green bootup screen with the Xbox One logo.

    If the green boot screen is not appearing, hold the power button on the console again for 20 seconds.

    After the console has finished starting and shows the home screen after the green boot screen, try to launch the game again.
