    Xbox one won't launch games!!!


    I've had my xbox for one day and have had so many problems when trying to play games. First game I installed was COD: Ghosts it took two installs to get it working! And I still can't play online with it! I've also been out and purchased battlefield 4 and
    dead rising 3, Battlefield did work while I was offline but once I reconnected to xbox live the game would not launch, it does attempt to but instantly jumps back to the home page, I have re-installed the game three times now and have twice offline and once
    while only and still nothing! I have tried every thing other Then a factory reset! If anyone has had this problem please tell me what you did to fix it. Note: This is not the tray grinding.

    :)

    Xbox one won't launch games

    Hi Guys,

    Just recently I have been trying to install Homefront, but my Xbox won't launch the game to install it, I thought it was a faulty game, but with further research and mucking around I have come to the conclusion that it is actually my Xbox..

    Now the Xbox seems to read the games, as if I have the game installed I can put the disc in, go to my games and apps, and click on the game app and launch it manually, but if I don't have the game installed I can not launch it in anyway, my Xbox just doesn't
    want to play the game...

    Any help would be great as 2 days ago I inserted gears of war 4 and it was fine, but now..

    Thanks.

    This was happening to me... the solution that worked for me may sound obvious, but I didn't know to try it, so you may not either:

    If you hold down the power button on the front of the Xbox One and count to eight before releasing, it'll do a hard shutdown rather than going into sleep mode. That seems to clear the cache. Then when it restarts, functionality may be restored.

    1: Push the console power button for 5-10 seconds until I turns off

    2: Unplug the power cord from the console - (has to be from the console)

    3: Wait 30 seconds

    4: Plug back in and power up console with button

    Should hopefully be working okay now. If not let us know Xbox one won't launch games!!! :)

    In addition to what Big said - unplug the power from the console

  7. I had a similar problem after the last update. I could play anything new that I downloaded, but nothing I had played in the last 2 weeks would make it past the splash page. The Hard shutdown did fix my problem.

    1: Push the console power button for 5-10 seconds until I turns off

    2: Unplug the power cord from the console - (has to be from the console)

    3: Wait 30 seconds

    4: Plug back in and power up console with button

    You're too early?

    As stated in the games description, you won't have access to the regular game until the new one launches.

    Xbox games won't launch

    Hi. Please press and hold the power button on your console for 10 seconds to do a hard reset. Turn the console on and try again.

    If that didn't work please navigate to the game under my games and apps and press the menu button and scroll down to saved data and select to delete all locally saved data. Your saved data will sync from the cloud once you open the game again

    Xbox games won't launch

    That's definitely an odd issue. If you have the games on an external drive try moving them to the internal. You could also try holding the power button on the console for 10 seconds till it shuts down then unplug it and let it sit for 5 minutes to see
    if that helps.
