    Xbox games not launching


    When I go to launch a game, the game logo will take over the screen, go black, and kick me back to the home screen. This happens when trying to launch Destiny 2 but realized it happens with other games in my library as well. Ive done everything under the
    sun! Its not the destiny 2 servers because my friends are playing it just fine. Its not the xbox live servers. I restarted my router, i restarted the xbox 3 times, I completely shut down the xbox 3 times, i unplugged the xbox and left it unplugged for 30 minutes
    thinking that would somehow do something. I disconnected the wifi and went offline multiple times. I am unsure what to do as the xbox was just fine yesterday in terms of launching games.

    :)

    could XBOX ONE launch on the 30th?

    I believe like the list I received from gamestop of launch games...that they are actually launch window games..like fav said. Gamestop or Game doesn't know the actual launch date of xbox one so they have a list of games that will come out in the launch
    window.

    Hello,

    Did you try to clear your Xbox One cache ? Push the xbox button of your console 10 seconds until the reboot.
