I posted your pic in chatgpt and got the answer below, in short, it might be your storage device that is failing since you’ve had the issue multiple times.
Good luck!

From the image, the important part is this:

Error: The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error (0x8007045d)
Failed to open: G:\bundle\...

What this usually means

This almost always means your Xbox can’t properly read data from the drive where that game is installed. The most common causes are:

  1. Failing or corrupted storage

    • Internal SSD/HDD is developing bad sectors

    • External USB hard drive is failing (very common)

  2. Corrupted game installation

    • Game files were damaged during download or update

  3. Bad USB cable or power issue (external drives)

    • Loose cable

    • Drive not getting enough power

  4. System file corruption (less common)

What to Try (in this exact order)

:white_check_mark: 1. Fully Restart the Xbox

Not sleep mode:

  • Hold the Xbox power button for 10 seconds

  • Unplug power cable for 30 seconds

  • Plug back in and reboot

:white_check_mark: 2. Check Where the Game Is Installed

Go to:
Settings → Storage Devices

  • If the game is on an external drive:

    • Unplug the drive

    • Restart Xbox

    • Plug it back in

    • Try launching again

If it launches after reconnecting → your drive or cable is failing.

:white_check_mark: 3. Verify / Reinstall the Game

Because the error specifically mentions a broken bundle file:

  • Uninstall the game completely

  • Restart the Xbox

  • Reinstall it fresh

:warning: If reinstalling fails or freezes, that strongly confirms a failing hard drive.

:white_check_mark: 4. If You Use an External Hard Drive

Check:

  • Try a different USB port

  • Try a different USB cable

  • If possible, test the drive on a PC

If your PC also struggles to read it → the drive is dying.

:white_check_mark: 5. If the Game Is on Internal Storage (Worst Case)

If this is happening with multiple games and all are on internal storage, it may mean:

  • The internal SSD/HDD is failing

  • This requires service or repair

Quick Summary

Symptom Likely Cause
One game only Corrupt install
Many games on same drive Failing drive
External drive involved Bad drive or cable
Reinstall fails Defective storage
