When attempting to launch Minecraft on Xbox, the game does not launch and instead displays an error that Minecraft needs an update for 0KB. Once the update is accepted by selecting "update" on the Xbox error menu, a new separate version of Minecraft will begin installing. Occasionally after selecting "update" it will prompt another alert stating Minecraft requires 2.7GB of storage even when console storage is available. However, this new separate game will never install completely on its own. It will continously give an error that "Installation stopped." It is possible to complete the download of this separate Minecraft by continuing to install it after each "installation stopped" error. Upon completing the installation, the game will launch but be very unstable and won't be able to launch again once the console if powered off and on or if another game is launched. Additionally, no game saves are present in the "worlds" tab. The ability to download/sync "old saves" is available but all saves available to sync are from December 2021 and prior. Essentially, this separate Minecraft acts as a new copy of the game and requires set up of screen area, defaults the controls, has no prior game saves, and has no purchased/owned marketplace content installed/downloaded. This issue has been ongoing since the 1.19.2 Hotfix update. (Note: Xbox console is enrolled in the Xbox Insider Alpha Skip-Ahead program) **

Issue resolved by freeing up some space on the device.

This bug has appeared to me, I've tried all steps stated above, still is there. I'm on xbox 1S if that's needed
Edit: I have 30 GB free, fixed spelling

In this instance it looks as though you might need additional space, perhaps by uninstalling other large games, in order to complete the update (in the video provided it showed very little space available, and even less after the update failed).
After clearing space you might want to also try uninstalling and reinstalling Minecraft again - please make sure that your worlds are safely backed up beforehand; you may be limited to what can be stored in cloud saves if your worlds amount to more than 4GB.
