GTA 5 won’t finish downloading stuck on ready to start

Hi Nolan! My name is Darhyl and I’d be more than happy to help you with your query.

I'm sorry you are experiencing this with your GTA 5 game installation. No worries, let me help you sort this out.

It's important to note that this is a public user-to-user community forum, and none of us here work for Microsoft.

If I may ask, does this happen to all of your games or just specifically to GTA V?

Kindly try to perform the following workarounds:

Remove your account, power cycle, and re-add your account:

Here's how to remove your account:

> Press the Xbox button  to open the guide.
> Select Profile & system > Settings > Account > Remove accounts.
> Select the account that you want to remove, and then select Remove to confirm.

Power Cycle:

> Turn off your console by holding the Xbox button on the front of the console for approximately 10 seconds. The console will turn off. ​​​

> Turn your console back on by pressing the Xbox button on the console or the Xbox button on your controller. ​​​

Then re-add your account.

Press the Xbox button  to open the guide.
Select Profile & System > Add or switch > Add new.
Enter the email address for the Microsoft account that you want to add, and then select Enter.

Note: Make sure that you do not select Get a new account unless you want to create a new Microsoft account.

Enter the password for your Microsoft account, and then select Enter.
Review the Microsoft Service Agreement and Privacy Statement, and then select I Accept.
Follow the steps to configure your Sign-In, security & PIN preferences to finish adding your profile to the console.

Then proceed to cancel and install the game again.

Please take your time and let me know if it works.

Best Regards,
Darhyl

Hello Kavian,

Thanks for reaching out to the forums. We understand you are having issue with a download. Are you able to install other games? Also, when installing don't hit play when ready to start let it finish if possible. If you already have uninstalled and reinstalled,
we recommend reaching out to the developer. Have seen a few issues with the update for the game. If you are installing on an external drive, try installing directly to the internal drive.

Thanks,

Brad
