Destiny 2 Lightfall not launching on Xbox — how to fix

The source of the problem is older content, which while installed stops Destiny 2: Lightfall from launching. As such, we have to uninstall certain pieces of old Destiny 2 content, at which point the game should launch without issue.

Once the bug is fixed outright, you should be able to re-download them at a later date. Hopefully the new Lightfall content keeps you entertained for now.

First, you need to make your way to the DLC menu for Destiny 2. To get there, follow these steps:

1. Close Destiny 2 if it is running
2. Hover over Destiny 2 on the console main menu
3. Press the menu button
4. Select “manage game and add-ons”
5. Select Destiny 2

You should now be presented with a full list of all the available DLC, and whether it has been installed. DLC you have installed should be highlighted, so we’re going to un-highlight a select few bits of DLC.

The DLC you need to uninstall is:

1. Destiny 2: Forsaken - Black Armory
2. Destiny 2: Forsaken - Joker’s Wild
3. Destiny 2: Forsaken - Penumbra
4. Destiny 2 Forsaken - Annual Pass
5. Expansion I: Curse of Osiris
6. Expansion II: Warmind

Once all of those have been deselected, select “save changes”, then wait for all of them to uninstall. Once they have, launch Destiny 2 and the game should boot up problem free!
