Requires Battlefield 6 error has started appearing on Xbox

I bought an Xbox X and BF6 on disk a couple months ago and things were fine until a few days ago when I started getting the message "Requires Battlefield 6" in red banners, and the game wants me to purchase it. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times, shutting down and unplugging the console for 5 minutes, and several other suggestions I've run into online, but nothing works. I've attached a screenshot from the console.

Has anyone else encountered the issue or have any other suggestions to move past it?

  • The apparent licensing issue disappeared once (even though nothing at all was changed), but I still couldn't play. Once I tried to launch a game, I got error code 0:89001S:7C:-13561655840. After restarting in an attempt to get past that error the licensing issue reappeared. I've always had intermittent unknown error issues, but the game has been unplayable for about a week now.

  • I haven’t been able to use this game for about a week. Different error code but it’s still unplayable on my Xbox and there’s no help at all troubleshooting the problem.

    That was just the most recent error. I've had a few others in the past.

    After some back and forth with EA, they blame it on the disk or XBox drive. I don't find either credible since I've now gone through the uninstall/reinstall cycle several times. I would expect a disk/drive issue to prevent the game from installing. I've ordered another disk to see if that solves the issue since I'm beyond the return windows for Best Buy. The are so many intermittent errors that I believe the game is just not fully tested and debugged, but I do like it when I can actually play it.
