Xbox Gamepass cloud gaming issue?

Posted 5th Feb 2023

Tried playing some cloud games on my Series X earlier and none would load, they just got stuck on the rocketship loading screen? I rebooted Xbox with no joy, then out of the blue one of the games worked so i played it for a while then tried another few games only for them to do the same thing again?

I had nothing downloading or updating and I reset my router just the other day.

Anyone any ideas whats wrong?

Thanks

I sometimes think it depends on how many servers they have free. At the weekend I imagine that they are overloaded and waiting time to get connected is longer. Much like when you use gforce now except Xbox doesn't tell you how many are waiting, it just does it think I'm the background.

Happens to me all the time. I have a decent broadband connection too. Have given up on running games from the cloud.

Seems to happen to everyone most of the time. Amazing really, I thought more people would kick up a fuss about it - We're paying for something they're not providing..

Worked just fine for me about an hour ago, but I've had the constant rocket ship before.

It is still in beta so these things are expected.
