Installing games from the Xbox Games Store
When you download a game from the Xbox Games Store, it installs automatically. While the game is downloading and installing, it appears in the Queue section of My games and apps.
If you choose to install the game later, use My games and apps.
Reinstalling games
Before you can reinstall the game, you must first uninstall it from the console's hard drive. To uninstall a game:
- Say «Xbox, go to my games and apps» or open My games and apps on the Home screen.
- Select Games.
- Highlight the game you want to uninstall, press the Menu button, then select Manage game.
- Select Manage all, select Uninstall all, and then select Uninstall.
You can then reinstall the game by downloading it again from the Xbox Store. To download the game again, search for the game title in the Xbox Store, select it, and then select Install.
Frequently asked questions:
Will I lose my game info and/or progress if I reinstall it?
The Xbox One console saves your gameplay data to the cloud, so if you’ve played your game online, you can resync your game with the cloud once you've reinstalled it. See Xbox One cloud game saves: FAQ.
Why does it take so long to install a game?
Game installs depend on how fast a drive can transfer files. The maximum data transfer rate for the Xbox One's disc drive is currently 54 Mbps. If you think your game is installing too slowly, see Troubleshoot slow game or app downloads on Xbox One.
