Hi Juliux J, my name is Daniel. I am an independent advisor who is willing to help you.

For me, it is an honor to write to you and try to help you in any way possible, for my part I will do my best to try to solve any questions/problems you are presenting.

I can tell you with certainty that you are not the only person experiencing this problem, several users have reported this problem here on the Microsoft forum. According to information found on the Internet, they say that there is a team of people who are working to solve this problem.

Here you can verify that other users have also reported this failure:

Let's hope that later there will be official information from Xbox/Microsoft and they can solve this problem of long queues to be able to play in the cloud once and for all.

I hope I have helped you, if you have any other questions let me know. I will be happy to help you again.

Best regards,
Daniel.

Hi. My name is Mel and I am an independent advisor. Cloud gaming is experiencing a higher number of users than usual and therefore has created some issues with the waiting times. Microsoft are looking into this and hopefully will fix it ASAP.

i'm sorry about the wait time is representative of the average weight before a server becomes available for your game, there is no way for you to reduce the time other than change the time or physical location you're playing from which could lead to lower server loads and greater availability.

The popularity of Xbox cloud gaming especially with the launch of Starfield has been a victim of its own success with huge numbers of new players

If playing Fortnite in a timely manner is important to you, I suggest you download it to one of the many platforms it supports and play that way

The "wait time & lots of player" messages began in August 2023 - long before "Starfield" xbox release 06Sep2023! I have been actively 'cloud gaming' for months on my console, but beginning late July 2023, the 3-5 minute wait messages began to be a frequent occurrence. By the third week of August 2023, the "wait time 10-15 minutes" message appeared, usually accompanied by a "the queue is slow or full" message. Per the Xbox support page this is a KNOWN ISSUE and "we're working on it" (08Sep2023). XBox RAISED the monthly fee for Game Pass Ultimate by $2.00 and NOW more games require cloud play (when using Xbox One console, for example). We PAY a LOT to be assured game access - especially Cloud Gaming!!! Please do not insult our loyalty or intelligence by suggesting one game is the cause of cloud gaming's abysmal performance! MS/Xbox easily projects users and demand requirements. Since I don't have access to internal documents, I'm going to suggest that - despite a significant increase in revenue - the ever-greedy corporation is electing to NOT increase server space or necessary infrastructure to support the additional demand in the cloud-gaming environment. A rather ridiculous decision in light of the fact that gaming in general is fast becoming an "online dependent" industry requiring cloud storage and network gaming servers/traffic. Ergo, the reason for the original question here: "Is this wait time for games gonna be a permanent thing?" If no, when can we expect a resolution?

clips may take time to get sicronized in the cloud but appear in the queue, that is, those that do not load live wait for loading
