Xbox Cloud gaming - 'sorry, the queue is taking longer than expected'

I just remembered,

I waited in the queue for 30 minutes but it said sorry,the queue is taking longer than expected and it was taking so long.

Make sure you reply

had the same problem. Counted down from 230 mins to zero. Only to get the message "Sorry, the queue is taking longer than expected " and had to wait another 90 mins for connecting to the game. For it to cancel connection after 30 mins of play.

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is Welcome to the community.

Hello Liam, if you're referring to the account recovery form you filled out, this could take a little over 24 hours.

Hi Ayden_Hester, my name is Courtney and I would be happy to help.

I'm sorry for your bad experience with cloud gaming, unfortunately this is an issue that is affecting all of us gamers, but from what I understand Microsoft is aware of this issue and there is a team in charge trying to resolve these issues, but apparently it's nothing easy.

But at least they are trying to resolve this, let's hope that soon we can enjoy cloud gaming without waiting so long in a queue to play. Keep in mind this is a public Microsoft forum where we are gamers like you who help other gamers with basic problems, this means we are not Microsoft employees.

I hope you understand, I wish you good luck.

Best regards,
Courtney.

I have been playing Fortnite on Xbox cloud for a long time and the longest time I had to wait was 30 minutes. Since Starfield came out it’s now saying 240 minutes = 4 hours and then once it reaches 4 hours it says it’s taking longer than expected and continues in queue until it decides to disconnect me. Haven’t been able to play Fortnite for a few days. So much for paying for the Battle Pass to then in turn not be able to access the game. Absolutely ridiculous!
