In addition to the free space on your internal device, also make sure to free some space on the specific drive where the game is installed.

Once you are done with making some free space, try using the game to check if the error is now resolved or not.


Fix 2: Make Sure Game And Console Is Updated

Next, make sure you are using the latest version of the game. Simply check if there are any pending updates for the game. If the game is updated with the latest version then check if your Xbox console is updated with the latest firmware version or not.

If there are any pending updates available then consider installing the pending updates and then check for the error.
