Tip: Before you do that, make sure to sign out of your Xbox account and then sign back into. 

1] Check Xbox Server Live Status

When the related servers are down or under maintenance, there appear some issues launching even the gaming controller. This becomes imperative to check all the servers and you may find the same by visiting Xbox Server Live Status

If you do see any services down on this webpage, we suggest wait for the servers to come live again and then only go ahead with installing new apps or updating the existing ones. 

2] Purge the stored cache on your Xbox console

The presence of old caches and cookies inside the Xbox console may also result in this error code 0x80070570. To fix this issue, you must clear the accumulated by following these easy steps –

  • Press and hold the Xbox button until your console turns off.
  • After the gaming console turns off, remove all the connecting wires from it including the power cable.
  • Wait for a few minutes and then re-connect all the wires back into the console. 

Press the Xbox button again and check if you can launch it without getting the same error code 0x80070570 on your gaming console.

3] Purge locally saved game data

If the error code 0x80070570 still occurs even after clearing the accumulated caches and cookies, you must clear locally saved game data on your gaming console. Proceeding this way, all your data will be erased from the disk drive and thus making way for the Xbox console to launch error-free. 

Note: Clearing locally saved game data will remove all data stored locally on your gaming console. This stands true for all the unsynced data as well. However, if there are some data stored in the cloud, that will remain unaffected by this solution. 

Follow the below instructions on how to purge the locally saved game data on Xbox – 

  • Open the Guide section by pressing the Xbox button on your gaming console.
  • Go to Profile & System > Settings > System > Storage next.
  • Locate and click on the Clear local saved game data button on the Manage storage devices window.
  • Restart your console next and check if the error 0x80070570 resolves this way.

4] Clear Alternate MAC Address

Several users reported fixing this error code after they cleared the Alternate MAC address on their Xbox consoles. Try out this fix and check if this resolves the error code 0x80070570 in your case as well. Here’s how to perform this task –

  • Press the Xbox button and you will enter the Guide section. 
  • Go to Settings > Network > Advanced settings and select Alternate MAC address.

  • Press the Xbox button to enter the Guide section.
  • Go to Profile & System > Settings > System > Updates next. 
  • Locate and click Updates and install the updates button on the next screen.

"No console update available"

  • Restart your gaming console and check if the error 0x80070570 resolves this way. 

7] Reset your Xbox Console

In case updating the Xbox controller fails you may proceed ahead with the resetting of your Xbox console. Gamers have two options to choose from when resetting their consoles. The first one deletes all your game data while the latter one saves your game data.
