Minecraft takes longer than anticipated to load when launching the digital version on Xbox One S consoles. Launching the game usually results in a black screen that can last for minutes or not at all, but afterwards, the Minecraft title with the loading bar beneath consistently takes upwards of 15-20 minutes to fully load. The loading bar regularly pauses at the 41% and 74% markers for extended periods of time. This behavior is found across my Xbox One S console, those of people I personally know and have witnessed, and other Xbox users online.
I do not think this should be the case as the Nintendo Switch, an objectively weaker system, can launch its version of the game in a couple minutes or less.
This behavior has been ongoing since around the 1.17 Caves and Cliffs Update Part I, however it is not possible to downgrade the Xbox version of the game to test.
