Throughout the day, several players have shared on social media and forums a rather striking error on Xbox consoles. When accessing the digital library, many titles appear replaced by a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark, giving the impression that they have completely disappeared.

The first reaction, as is logical, has been one of alarm. Seeing your collection suddenly go “blank” raises doubts about possible license failures or even loss of access to purchased games. However, after testing in detail, users have confirmed that it’s just a visual glitch: games continue to work normally and can be launched without any issues.

In fact, in cases where the library appears to be empty, simply entering the Xbox Store and searching for the title is enough to reinstall or launch it directly. This demonstrates that the error doesn’t affect the content itself, but only the way it’s displayed on screen.

Microsoft should resolve this soon

Although the company hasn’t made an official statement yet, this type of incident usually gets resolved quickly through background adjustments or minor updates. It’s not a severe failure or a game blockage: it’s just a bug that alters the library’s visualization.

Therefore, if you turn on your console and find these warning triangles, you can stay calm. Your games haven’t disappeared, your license is still active, and access is guaranteed. Everything points to the situation normalizing within the next few hours, and your library will return to its usual state.
