Having problems playing my games

Hi there Brandon,

Thanks for reaching out here in Xbox Forums. I understand there is an issue launching your games. To help clarify,

• Are these games purchased or shared?
• Have you tried a power cycle the console?
  • 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.
    
    Note If you don't see the green boot-up animation when the console restarts, repeat these steps. Make sure that you hold the power button until the console completely shuts down.
    

Give this a try and let us know the results.

I am having trying to play my games no matter what game I try ,I keep getting an error message "try again later"I havebeen trying all day Please help

This sounds like you have a network connection issue. As well as Power cycling your console I would power cycle your gateway and wait until
its fully functional before turning your console back on.

If you are using WiFi to connect to your gateway, try a wired ethernet cable instead.

Are you using the account that was used to purchase the games? If not, then that will be why it is telling you to sign in with the account. If you want to play the games with a different account, you will need to make the new console the Home console using the account that was used to purchase the games. More info on the Home setting can be found here https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-network/console/my-home-xbox

try starting the game offline. I had the same problem with my discs. Now they all work fine. I believe this problem and the constant opening and closing triggers the anti pirate tools. I think this is what led to my console ban.
