Xbox One Digital Pre-Orders For Fallout 4 May Need To Be Re-Downloaded

Bethesda have posted a warning on their forums, for those who have digitally pre-ordered Fallout 4 for the Xbox One, as it may cause delays in downloading the game at launch.

If you pre-ordered Fallout 4 before the 27th of October and don't use Instant On power mode, you may have an incorrect "stub file" for the game, which is just a placeholder file. If you have this you need to delete it, and re-install the title. And here's how to do that:

• Navigate to My Games & Apps.
• Find the title's tile in Games.
• With the tile highlighted, press the [Menu] button on your controller.
• Select Manage Game.
• In the Manage Game screen, select the storage device the game is currently installed to.
• Select Uninstall.
• Once the game has uninstalled, return to My Games & Apps.
• Scroll right to the "Ready to Install" section under Games.
• Highlight the title's tile.
• Press [A] to select.
• Choose Install.

Once you've done this, you'll be ready to download the game as soon as it's available. Which you obviously want to do.

Fallout 4 is set to launch for the PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on November 10th.
