Xbox X not recognising game or network?

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.

I have here steps that we can try, please perform an extended powercycle and reset your network hardware by following the steps below:

1. Unplug the power cable from the back of the router, modem, or gateway for 5 minutes. If you have a router and a modem, unplug the power cable from both devices.

2. Press and hold the Xbox button on your console for 10 seconds or until it turns off then wait for 2 minutes before turning it on again.

3. After 5 minutes, plug the modem or gateway in first, and wait for all the lights to return to their normal state.

4. If you are using a router, plug in the router and wait for all the lights to return to their normal state.

If that didn't work resetting the console keeping games and apps will be the next option. Don't worry because as long as you're connected to Xbox Live your saved progress, games, will not be deleted. It will remove all of your accounts but you can add all of them later on.

Press the Xbox button to open the guide.

Select Profile & system > Settings > System > Console info.

Select Reset console.

Reset and keep my games & apps.

Yes. for xmas today i received the game, so i went and put it on download in my xbox one (all worked fine) later i receive my xbox series x, i put the disc in and nothing happens. it doesn’t even recognise the disk is there. i have the normal game because of game pass but the nightmare edition contains 4 DLC’s which i cannot receive due to the game not being recognised on the series X.

So I bought a Wireless N Network Adapter and it recognised it automatically upon plugging it, performed a software update via Xbox Live, but it won't recognise any 5GHz networks, only 2.4GHz ones.

Any ideas on how to get it to work with 5GHz networks?

Will that adaptor even see 5ghz

That I have done several times with both cards but still refuses to recognise the memory card

The link you suggested was for game failure to install or corruption as I can not get my series x to recognise the storage card then there is no way to install a game on it

I've had the exact issue in the last few weeks which I was sure was caused by Insider preview updates and/or Power setting Instant on. My disc drive is not faulty on my new XBSX because after I restart console (Full shutdown) it is recognised again.

I've had recent issues with noise and disc drive not being recognised and the only way I found to stop this issue is to do a Full shutdown of the console and restart. If you find you cannot reconnect to the network after the restart you may have to restart your network hardware also.

Settings>System>General>Power...>Full shutdown.

Its worthwhile removing power cable from console for a few minutes after you shutdown and before you restart.

Edit (1st Oct 2021)... Disc drive on Xbox Series X is no longer recognised at all. Seems it was dying a slow death. This AU$750.00 console is 6 months old and was bought because I have a game disc collection. It is now a brick until it gets replaced.

Its the second time I've bought new Xbox console (Xbox 1 X and now Xbox Series X) only to have some bit of hardware fail within a very short period of time.

Time for some better Quality Control methinks.
