Xbox's Cloud Gaming and remote play services are seeing excessively long load times as holiday demand hits servers.

When launching a game -- for example, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 -- the queue page does show up. In one case, it showed a wait time of more than 3 hours. On typical days, there's hardly any queue. When there is one, it's usually a few minutes.

Microsoft confirmed that its Game Pass cloud streaming platform wasn’t working as expected. Over 24 hours later, many players are still complaining about long waits and disconnects. This outage comes at a time when Microsoft has been pushing a new marketing slogan that claims everything connected to the internet is an Xbox.

Xbox Cloud Gaming has been experiencing issues loading games for the last day, according to Microsoft's status page, though the company is working on a fix.

Microsoft's Xbox Cloud Gaming service has been down for more than 24 hours, and there is still no fix in sight.
