    Why won’t my game launch


    I have been trying to play the walking dead definitive series on the Xbox series X and the game won’t launch. When I uninstalled it, and tried to reinstall it I was met with installation stopped.

    :)

    Why won’t my game launch

    Hi, Kaitlyn. My name is Ron, I'm an independent advisor. I will be more than happy to help you.

    Please try the following steps one at a time to resolve the issue:

    Solution 1: Do a power cycle to clear the cache of the console

    1. Turn off the Xbox 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 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 on the Xbox console.

    Solution 2: Try setting up manual DNS settings then install the game.

    1. Please go to Settings > Network > Advanced Settings > DNS settings >> manual

    2. Primary DNS: 208.67.222.222

    3. Secondary DNS: 208.67.220.220

    Solution 3: Please try setting up a mobile hotspot connection using your phone, then connect the console to the hotspot connection. Try installing the game after that and see if it works.

    Solution 4: Do a factory reset

    1. Press the Xbox button to open the guide.

    2. Select System > Settings > System > Console info.

    3. Select Reset console.

    4. Reset and keep my games & apps.

    Hi, thanks again

    But how can I launch the game first if the game won’t launch anyway?

    Grateful for your patience. IT isn’t my first preference:(

    My game won’t launch

    Hi, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

    According to Xbox support:

    "This may mean we’re having trouble checking usage rights."

    For your reference, you can check this link: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/errors/erro...

    I would like to clarify, is this a disc game? If yes, make sure that the physical disc is inside of the console.

    If this is a digital game, please sign in to https://account.microsoft.com/billing/orders and check if you can see the game order for the game stated as "completed".
