Focusing on a single subject to make it perfect is quite palpable, but Microsoft is neglecting an important issue that the Xbox players have faced for quite some time. Microsoft is acting like Rockstar Games’, only focusing on GTA 6 and canceling every other project. Microsoft’s behavior is not well-received by the Xbox community.

The Xbox Cloud Gaming users are unhappy with Microsoft’s recent issues. They have been suffering from tons of glitches at the beginning of every gaming session, and the waiting time has been stretching longer and longer. These problems happen in every console, but there is always a reason for that. In the case of Xbox Cloud Gaming users, there are no reasons why there is no end to the long queues and failure to initiate a gaming session. It just happens on its own without any notice.

Why Is Microsoft’s Xbox Cloud Gaming Facing Problems?

There is no exact reason as to why this has become a recurring problem. But Xbox Cloud Gaming users confirmed that this problem has increased since the release of Starfield. The long queue times increased Xbox Game Pass, bringing Grand Theft Auto 5 back. With such popular games, the traffic has increased considerably. Fans think that the system is not polished enough to support such traffic.

Even though the Cloud Gaming service is still in beta mode, Microsoft should be extra careful with this problem. If they do not take action soon, the daily active user number might fall. The motto of Xbox Cloud Gaming is to let its users access video games without downloading and installing. But with these recurring problems, it has become just a tagline.
