For players experiencing this issue, it’s crucial to install the March 2021 firmware update immediately. To manually update your Xbox Series X/S, follow these steps:
Press the Xbox button on your controller to open the guide menu.
Navigate to Profile & system > Settings > System > Updates.
Choose “Console Update Available” to download the latest version. If it displays “No console update available,” your Xbox is already running the most recent firmware.
To ensure your Xbox automatically downloads future updates as soon as they’re released, enable “Keep my console up to date” in the Updates menu. This guarantees you’ll receive new features and critical bug fixes promptly.
