Xbox Cloud Gaming is seeing increased queue times as demand surges
Xbox Cloud Gaming is seeing increased queue times as demand surges
People are blaming GTAV, but is something more going on?
I can't imagine waiting in a queue to play a single player game.
Yeah that’s pretty wild. Guess these will be the hiccups before Cloud Gaming really becomes mainstream.
The input lag alone is a dealbreaker for me. After I bought my handheld I’ve stopped using it all together
Having a queue to play a single player game is more and more common each year. Most recently with Diablo 4 DRM. 😪
As for Game Pass having a longer queue might be a good thing for the future of Game Pass in general. More people using the service. 🤔 maybe...
the only thing i could think of is if your current PC couldnt handle the spec requirements for a game, however you gotta take that big ol dick latency right in the pooter which if you love the game youll just buy to have a good experience. But is that the strat? tease games until you buy? or is games as service a forever alpha ride. like 7days and the like.
Other situations:
- You’re on a mobile device, with a controller
- You’re on a Steam Deck and wanted to play a Game Pass game
- You heard of a cool game but you don’t want to download its 80 GB when you don’t know if you’ll like it
- You want to complete a game pass quest, which means playing a game for 30 minutes then uninstalling it

I cancelled my Xbox ultimate subscription because of the latest price increase. Eur 12,99 to Eur 14,99. Just no.
Cheaper to buy the games.
.... that really depends a lot on your habits
