The Xbox error code 0x87dd0033 is a common issue that prevents many players from enjoying their games. To resolve this error, here’s what you need to do to fix the Xbox error 0x87dd0033 error code.
Possible ways to fix Xbox error 0x87dd0033
The Xbox error 0x87dd0033 is a network connectivity issue, meaning it appears when there's an Xbox Live service outage, or you're experiencing a connection error. If it is not on your end, there are a few things you can try to potentially resolve the problem:
Check Xbox server status
Xbox servers sometimes encounter problems that affect connectivity. While server outages are rare, game developers sometimes intentionally take them offline for maintenance. In such cases, you should verify the Xbox server status before trying any troubleshooting steps. I also recommend keeping an eye on the game's official Twitter handle to check whether an update is right around the corner.
Restart your WiFi router
If the Xbox servers are online, I recommend restarting your internet router to fix any connectivity-related issues, including the 0x87dd0033 error code. To start off, unplug your router switch and keep it unplugged for about two minutes. After that, replug the router’s switch and reboot your Xbox console to fix the issue.
Change DNS settings
Sometimes, the default DNS settings can be slow or unreliable, leading to issues with Xbox. To modify your DNS settings, you can follow these steps:
- Open the guide screen by pressing the “Xbox” button on your controller, then select “System” and go to “All settings.”
- In the “Network” menu, go to “Network settings,” and open “Advanced settings.”
- Pick “DNS settings” and set it to “Manual.”
- Enter your desired primary DNS and secondary DNS settings.
- Press the “Xbox” button again to save the DNS settings and test out your connection.
It is recommended to use a fast and reliable DNS server for gaming, such as Google's 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4, or Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1.
Contact Xbox support
If none of the above methods work, contacting Xbox support may be your only chance to fix the problem. The support team can check the log files to find out why your system is not connecting well with the console servers. To submit a support ticket, go to this link and sign in with your Xbox account.
