Are Microsoft even trying to improve cloud wait times...

Hi J9687, my name is Rodrigo. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

I am sorry to hear that.

The wait times are due to the server capacities and player numbers/demand.

The queues are necessary to ensure every player has a good gameplay experience.

I believe the servers are being updated regularly to mitigate this, but for now, and given the time of the year, the wait times are longer than usual.

Hello JamesBrookes,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.



We appreciate your time waiting and playing games on Xbox Cloud Game (Beta). The Xbox team is still working on accommodating more players and improve the Xbox Cloud Gaming service. Thus, the long wait time to play still continue to show.

Thanks, and have a great day!

Hello,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.



We appreciate your time waiting your turn to play Fortnite through Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta). Since Xbox Cloud Gaming is still on beta version, thus the wait time for Fortnite is dependent on the number of users accessing the service at the same time. In connection to this, we suggest you send feedback to the Team Xbox as this service is still up for improvement. You may use feedback on Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta) site to send one to the team.



Thank you for understanding and for being part one of the beta users of Xbox Cloud Gaming.

Arguing over which cloud is better is even more ridiculous that arguing about specs. Both Sony and Microsoft will use the cloud. Neither is static and both will improve over time. Both companies have made big investments in the cloud. In the end, we
will have fantastic exclusive games on both platforms and the differences between multiplatform games will be negligible.

I don't think this is an acceptable answer. We pay money each month for access to cloud gaming and shouldn't be forced to wait 30 minutes to play a game we pay to have instant access to. The Xbox team needs to work a little harder, this is a problem that should have been predicted and remedied before it even happened.
