Check your internet connectivity

Being a multiplayer game, Black Ops 7 needs access to a functioning high-speed internet connection. If you are having internet issues, this could possibly explain why the game isn't running properly on your console. Contact your ISP and try to get your internet fixed as soon as possible.

If you are using wireless connectivity to play BO7, we also recommend that you switch to an Ethernet connection for better network connectivity.

We also urge you to run a network connectivity test on your console to see if everything is in order. To do that, follow these steps:

• Press the Xbox button and open the Profile and System section.
• Head to the Settings tab.
• Look for the General Settings section, and locate the Network Settings tile from there.
• You can click on the Test Network Connection button to launch the test.

If everything is working fine, you should no longer be facing the Black Ops 7 not working on Xbox error.
