Fix 0x80070570: Xbox Error Code 0x80070570 (Xbox)

You’ve encountered the Xbox error code 0x80070570, which typically indicates a problem with data storage, most commonly a corrupted file on your Xbox’s internal hard drive or an external storage device. This can prevent games from installing, updating, or even launching.

🧐 Causes

The 0x80070570 error on Xbox can stem from several issues:

• Corrupted Game Files: Critical files for a game or app have become damaged, preventing the system from accessing or processing them correctly.
• Hard Drive Issues: The internal hard drive of your Xbox may have developed bad sectors or be on the verge of failure.
• External Storage Problems: If you’re using an external hard drive or USB drive, it might be corrupted, improperly formatted, or experiencing connection issues.
• Interrupted Installations/Updates: Power outages, network interruptions, or improper shutdowns during a game installation or update can lead to corrupted data.
• System Software Glitches: Less commonly, a temporary glitch in the Xbox operating system could cause this error.

🔧 Fixes

Here are several troubleshooting steps to resolve the 0x80070570 error:

• Restart Your Xbox: A simple power cycle can often resolve temporary software glitches.
  1. Press and hold the Xbox button on your controller until the controller vibrates.
  2. Select “Restart console.”
  3. Select “Restart.”
• Clear MAC Address: This can sometimes resolve network-related issues that might indirectly cause storage errors.
  1. Go to Settings > Network > Network settings.
  2. Select “Advanced settings.”
  3. Select “Alternate MAC address” > “Clear MAC address.”
  4. Restart your Xbox when prompted.
• Clear Persistent Storage: This clears cached data that might be causing the issue.
  1. Go to Settings > Devices & connections > Blu-ray.
  2. Select “Persistent storage” and click “Clear persistent storage.”
  3. Do this up to three times.
• Uninstall and Reinstall the Game/App: If the error is specific to one game or app, uninstalling it and then reinstalling can fix corrupted files.
  1. Go to My games & apps > See all > Games.
  2. Highlight the game or app you’re having trouble with.
  3. Press the Menu button on your controller and select “Uninstall.”
  4. Once uninstalled, find the game or app in your library and reinstall it.
• Check External Storage Device (if applicable):
  • Reconnect the Device: Unplug the external drive, wait 30 seconds, and plug it back in.
  • Try a Different USB Port: If possible, use a different USB port on your Xbox.
  • Test on Another Device: Connect the external drive to a PC and run a disk check (e.g., CHKDSK on Windows) to identify and fix errors. If the drive is found to be faulty, you may need to reformat it or replace it. Note: Reformatting will erase all data.
• Factory Reset Your Xbox (Keep my games & apps): This is a more drastic step that reinstalls the operating system without deleting your installed games and apps.
  1. Press the Xbox button to open the guide.
  2. Go to Profile & system > Settings > System > Console info.
  3. Select “Reset console.”
  4. Choose “Reset and keep my games & apps.”

  Important: If this doesn’t resolve the issue, you may need to consider the “Reset and remove everything” option, which will delete all data and require you to reinstall everything.

• Contact Xbox Support: If none of the above steps work, it’s possible there’s a hardware issue with your Xbox. Contacting Xbox Support is the next best step.
