I’ve been trying to get onto Starfield via cloud gaming in by Xbox one for over an hour and keep getting the same error message.

“Disconnected from cloud gaming session”. Something went wrong, please try again later.

Hey! There is currently an outage affecting Xbox Cloud Gaming. You may have trouble starting cloud games or be unexpectedly disconnected from a game after it begins. This is currently being investigated.

You can check the status of Xbox Network services here: https://support.xbox.com/xbox-live-status

There is currently a service alert up for cloud gaming, hence why you cannot play Starfield on the cloud. Microsoft are aware of it, and are working on a fix.

Xbox services are currently under heavy load from tall the people playing Starfield on cloud, screenshot uploads are a very low priority task. Upload servers are nowhere near as numerous as download, basically you queue to upload

The Xbox servers are constantly load balancing, and the last few weeks with all the people playing Starfield on cloud has been an adventure in load

I currently have this issue. Was in the middle of Starfield and the power went out. Didn’t come back on until 20mins later. Didn’t think to get back on because it was late. I get on after work and Starfield needs an update but none of the apps will fully load. I can open apps/ games and it’ll load but it won’t get past loading screen. I reset the Series X but kept the apps and games. And now I can’t even sign in.

I am not having a problem with in game saves.

Let me remind you that I am playing via Xbox Cloud. I do NOT have a console. I do NOT have a game installed on my computer.

When I try to play Starfield via Xbox Cloud, it informs me that there is a sync issue. Here is a screenshot:

The "TRY AGAIN" button does nothing, but "pretends" to check something for literally less than a second. The "SYNC LAST SAVED DATA" button will load a save that is hours out of date (i.e. it is an old save).

This has been happening for five days. The game is playable, but only as long as you are willing to play from an old save and replay large chunks of the game.

As I am playing via Xbox Cloud, I have no save data locally. My son has the same set-up as myself and is having the same issue. I cannot believe that other people playing Starfield via Xbox Cloud are not experiencing the same game destroying issue.

It should be clear that this is not a bug with Starfield, but a bug with Xbox Cloud.

I do not want any more apologies. I want the issue resolved.
