    Why is it that even though I have a disc game error 0x803f8001 keeps popping up?


    I am currently having a problem starting up a game. Every time I try to start it, it says error 0x803f8001. And I have already checked how to fix this error and nothing seems to work. It still will not let me in the game. I am borrowing this disc from someone who uses an Xbox one. And it doesn't seem to want to work on my Xbox series s. Please if you know how to fix this.

    :)

    Hello Jahilala H, I am an independent advisor and I will be happy to help you today. My name is Khaji

    Restart your console: Press and hold the power button for 10 seconds or more until it turns off. Then, unplug it and wait 10-15 seconds. Plug it back in and turn it on

    Check Xbox Live status: Check the Xbox status page. If there are any services with alerts, expand that service, scroll down to Notifications, and sign in to receive a message when the service is back up and running

    Sign in to the Xbox Network: If you purchased or installed the game or app from the Microsoft Store on Xbox, make sure you're signed in to the Xbox Network

    Have the owner sign in to the Xbox Network: If someone else installed the game or app digitally (without disc), that person must be the one to sign in to the Xbox Network

    Insert the game disc: If you are playing a game that requires a disc, insert the disc into the Xbox console. If the disc is already inserted, see: Troubleshoot disc playback

    Thank you very much for your patience and understanding! If you need anything else, do not hesitate to contact us again.

    Game wont download

    Well it stopped at 28.8% didn't pop any error code up eventually I just stuck in disc 2 even though it hasn't asked for it yet.it now asked for disc 1 I'm now at 74.5% hoping this fixed my problem I really want to play the game but I think it may just be something wrong with my disc one and as I was typing this .but as typing this it's not moving past 74.5 and keeps stopping no error code or nothing popping up

    XBOX one error code

    This is what comes up:

    You may need service if it is on all discs and you have tried the below.

    Solution

    Insert the game disc. Even though the game might already be installed on this Xbox, we need the physical disc to check the license before we can launch it.

    If the disc is already loaded, see if it’s dirty or scratched. If needed, wipe the disc with a soft, clean, slightly damp cloth. Hold the disc by the edges without touching the top or bottom faces.

    Then re-insert it and try launching again.

    Hello!

    Thanks for reaching out to us here on the forums with this situation. I understand you're having issues with launching the game Overwatch: Origins Edition even though you have the disc itself. If in fact you are able to play other disc based games and DVD/Blu-rays
    its most likely going to be the disc itself causing this. Take a look at these helpful support articles:
