Xbox Cloud Overwhelmed by Grand Theft Auto V Popularity

Grand Theft Auto V Popularity is like, very popular, bro.

Xbox Cloud Gaming allows players all over the world to access popular games across a plethora of diverse devices, including mobile, tablet, and TVs. Xbox Cloud Gaming gives players who wouldn’t otherwise have the opportunity to play a number of big box game that chance.

And they’re all taking that chance, apparently, with a major focus on Grand Theft Auto V.

When GTAV was added to the cloud library, the system started forming wait times. And this was none too popular among a ravenous, impatient gaming audience.

Its important to understand, no one can confirm that GTAV is the sole reason for the wait times. It’s only what the gaming bros have surmised. And the wait times seem to be regional.

In many cases, games are taking minutes to start up. You’ll get the message, “sorry, this is taking longer than we expected.” Others are saying it can take 45 minutes or more to get the game booted.

But Grand Theft Auto V isn’t only to blame. You can tally Fortnite gaming as a contributor. And there are more games than that which bring in lots of gamers previously without access to the new library.

These should be happy days for gamers. More games, more gaming diversity, but the wait times have soured many who seem to take to Reddit and Twitter (or X) to express their disenchantment with the situation.

Grand Theft Auto V is an action-adventure video game developed by Rockstar North and published by Rockstar Games. It was first released in September 2013 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, with versions for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Microsoft Windows following in later years.

The game is set within the fictional state of San Andreas, based on Southern California, and it allows players to navigate its open world either on foot or by vehicle. The world includes urban cityscapes, suburban areas, a desert, a forest, a mountain, and beaches.
