Halo Infinite is undoubtedly one of its kind, and we can’t deny the fact that it gives quite an amazing first-person experience. The game is the continuation of the legendary Halo Series and was launched on 15th November 2021.
The game has received positive responses from the players, and the developers, 343 Industries have done a great job in making this. But, this is not all about the game.
Available on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, players have encountered a new issue related to the game. According to reports, players are facing issues while trying to launch the game. And the issues are something like error codes 0x80070032, 0x80070424 and 0x80070005.
Affected players get the particular message that reads, “Something unexpected happened. Reporting this problem will help us understand it better. You can wait a bit and try again or restart your device. That may help.” These are the error codes 0x80070032, 0x80070424, and 0x80070005 that prevent the users from launching the game.
Here are certain fixes and workarounds that you can try –
TRY RUNNING OTHER GAMES
This is the first thing that you need to do if you want to check about these error codes 0x80070032, 0x80070424, and 0x80070005. You have to run other games with the Xbox app on your PC and check if they are running properly.
If those games end up with the same error code message or show some other issue, then the problem might be with Xbox’s subscription. If those run fine, move on to the next fix. You can also try running the game through Steam and see if there is the same issue.
UPDATE THE GAMING SERVICES
Having outdated gaming services can be a major reason behind the error codes 0x80070032, 0x80070424, and 0x80070005 not allowing the game to launch. For this, you need to check if there are any pending updates for the Gaming Services on your PC. You can do this through the Microsoft app using the below steps –
- Open the Microsoft Store app.
- On the screen, go to Library and click on it.
