Pre-Ordered Fallout 4 Digitally on Xbox One? Please Read

Post » Tue Dec 01, 2015 12:11 am

We know you’re ready for Fallout 4 on November 10th, and for those that digitally pre-ordered on Xbox One, we want to make sure you’re ready to jump in right away. If you’ve digitally pre-ordered the game on Xbox One on or before 10/27 and are NOT using Instant On power mode, you may still have an incorrect “stub file” for the title, which is simply a placeholder file. Players that have this particular version of the stub file will be required to delete it, and reinstall the title.

If you’ve pre-ordered on or after 10/27, you should be ready to download the necessary updates as they become available. Once these updates have been installed, you’ll then be able to play Fallout 4.

To do so, follow the process below:
  • Navigate to My Games & Apps.
  • Find the title's tile in Games.
  • With the tile highlighted, press the [Menu] button on your controller.
  • Select Manage Game.
  • In the Manage Game screen, select the storage device the game is currently installed to.
  • Select Uninstall.
  • Once the game has uninstalled, return to My Games & Apps.
  • Scroll right to the "Ready to Install" section under Games.
  • Highlight the title's tile.
  • Press [A] to select.
  • Choose Install.

For information on reinstalling games on the Xbox One, head https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/games/install-games.

If you have additional questions about the game, we encourage you to share them here in our forums. Welcome Home.

Note: If the stub file is not correct, it's most likely going to be under 1 GB. If you have file that's around ~25 or higher, you should be okay.
