Does anyone know if starting a cloud gaming session on a mobile device ends a session on...

Hi there Michael, my name is Gerardo, and I'm an Xbox player, just like you. I'll be happy to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have.

If someone is playing on a console with your account (either with a downloaded game or from Xbox Cloud Gaming), and you start a game from Xbox Cloud Gaming on a mobile phone, it will notify whoever is on the console that he is playing in another location and that he is only allowed to play one game at a time, which will force him to exit the game. This happens because the version of the game running from Xbox Cloud Gaming is the Xbox console game version (even if you are playing from a mobile device), and it is not possible to play two console games simultaneously with the same account.

I hope this helps and if you have further questions please let me know.

Best regards.

when you start playing gears just select cloud as the storage device & playing anything online. End the session and this should save/back up you player data.

Hey there Jdef

That does and can be very normal if the join is greyed out it means the person (friend) is already in a active match or in a fully game or private session. If you wanted too join them you would need too invite them too your own session that hasnt already
started. Or they could invite you too there session by making it public or when there is space. Ie someone leaves or the match ends and a new session is started

That's sad to hear.

Well, to avoid this problem in the future I think could be great that before closing the cloud gaming session go back to the main game screen and leave it there for about 1 min and then end your cloud gaming session

Now, about the thing with the audio... are you experiencing this only with this game?

If you're experiencing this problem only with this game please share this feedback (usually when you end the session the feedback screen appears)
