Windows 10: Cant connect to multiplayer

whenever I launch games like fortnite for example, it lets me connect to the lobbies but whenever I try to start a game it puts me into the loading screen and I’m stuck there and nothing would proceed. When I tried launching Minecraft it loads into the game itself but when I try to play multiplayer it also does not seem to load in, I turned off fire wall and tried launching again but with no success, is there anything I can do to fix this? My internet connecting is good

Finding the right support options, for problems with the Xbox Console and Accessories

A final note, PlayStation users have to pay for online play also It is only PlayStation 3 users that don't . But ask yourself this: If Microsoft offer free play for online multiplayer, how would you fund the servers needed for Xbox Live?

• Higher Game Prices?
• Higher rental Prices?
• Less servers and availability?
• Less servers and sustainability?

Good luck with your suggestion,

Regards,
