If you’re unlucky and hit with Payday 3 not working on Xbox error, you’re not alone, this guide might show you how to fix it.
Payday 3: How to fix not working error on Xbox
Since consoles are more closed off than PCs your options are a little limited in how you can troubleshoot. But, below are some methods that may work. If you’re on the PlayStation, the following steps are also for that platform as well.
- Restart the game and jump back into it: Sometimes this can clear the errors on their own with a soft restart.
- Turn off the console: Most of the time when you turn on and off your XBox and start fresh, the cache can clear. This allows Payday 3 to start as a whole new instance.
- Check your internet: Because the game is online-only the error could be because of a weak or no connection. Disconnect and reboot your router, and the game may load up after that.
- Reinstall Payday 3: When you’ve done the steps above and the game does not load still, this could be the solution to fix it all. While a last-ditch effort, it still has some promise by giving you a clean start.
- Wait for an update from Starbreeze: When nothing else works, you sadly may have to wait for a solution from the devs. Thankfully, if you look at their Twitter account, they’ve been somewhat quick with updates.
