USB drive corrupt games?
So I was gonna play on my Xbox and I clicked a game (which was dying light) and it said that it was corrupt, so then I uninstalled and tried reinstalling the game but it wouldn’t let me install.... I didn’t know what to do so I tried rainbow 6 siege and apex legends and they didn't work either.
The next day I went on my Xbox again and realized that it was my usb drive, so I transferred all my games on there to my internal storage and the installation worked and now I can play my games without it saying it’s corrupt.
Why isn't my USB working and how can I fix it?
