How To Fix xbox 360 error code 8015000a?


Fix 1: Check Xbox Server Status

The main culprit for the error is the Xbox server. I have checked a couple of official threads related to this error code, and I found that the main reason for the Xbox 360 error code 8015000a is the Xbox server.

Even while doing my research I came up with a Reddit thread where one user mentioned that he/she just talked to Xbox support and they advised him/her to wait as the reason for the error is the Xbox server outrage, and the Xbox team is trying their best to fix the issue with the server.

So go to Xbox Live Status page, and Xbox Support Twitter page to check if there is still an outrage going for the Xbox server. If yes then wait till their server gets fixed, because in this case, you don’t have anything in your hand. No matter what troubleshoots you try, you will still get the error.

But if in case you don’t find any outrage with the Xbox server then you can try the below-given troubleshoots to fix the issue.


Fix 2: Use the incognito window on an alternate device

First, try login into your Xbox profile by using an alternate device, and please make sure to use an incognito on the alternate device.
