Series S keeps saying I’m playing the same game after I close it

Frazer Harford · Jan 22, 2023

So, I’ve been playing Asura’s Wrath as of recent and I closed it earlier, yet xbox keeps saying I was playing Asura’s Wrath. I had played two different games and it still said I was playing Asura’s Wrath. It just won’t stop saying I’m playing Asura’s Wrath. I’ve restarted the console twice and have turned it off manually twice, I don’t know why but my Series S just won’t stop showing me as playing a game I’m not playing, and I wanted to ask if I can fix this in any way?

Hi and thanks for reaching out. I hope you’re doing well. I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you and I'll be happy to help you.

I understand you're experiencing an issue with your Xbox Series S where it's showing that you're still playing Asura's Wrath, even though you've closed the game and started playing other games. This could be caused by a problem with the Xbox's software or a bug in the game.

Kindly force quit the game by following the steps below;

1. Start by pressing the Xbox button to open the guide.

2. Verify that the game or app you wish to close is highlighted from the mini-guide on the left side of the screen, and then press the Menu button on your controller.

3. Select Quit.

If it still doesn't work, try clearing your console's cache;

1. Turn off your console by pressing the Xbox button on the front of the console for about 10 seconds, until it shuts down completely.

2. Unplug the console's power cable. Wait 10 seconds.

Important Be sure to wait at least 10 seconds. This step resets the power supply.

3. Plug the console power cable back in.

4. Press the Xbox button on your console to turn it on.

I’m aware that it is compatible. If I would download it even though it says I can’t play it on my device, would it work?(keep in mind on series s)

Also, I’m having the same issue playing my 360 games on my Series S, my Xbox Live account won’t download onto any 360 game on my Series S.
