Performance - Long Loading Times

When Forza Horizon 5 launched, the average loading time was approximately 3 and a half minutes, from booting the game to the point where you can drive a car. Now it’s nearly 7 and a half minutes. Why?

What is the game loading that now takes an additional 4 minutes? I have both the Hot Wheels and Rally Adventure expansions, and all the cars in the game, but surely the game is not loading all of those from the get-go?

I think the game gets continually slower loading up the more you do in the game, loading in on my alt is far quicker than when I do it on here despite obviously using the same game, console + internet connection.

Console. Specifically, XboxOne. (More specifically, the original model, Advanced Warfare Limited Edition XB1 console). Cache has been cleared. However, HDD is at 97%, not that I feel that is relevant. Game is the disc version, not digital.

The load times for the first year were averaging around 3 and a half minutes - that’s from booting the game from the Xbox dashboard to the Playlist showing up. Now it’s nearly 8 minutes.

Im currently having issue since i got the Alfa Romeo 8c jn italian automotives update. Im at title screen for over a minute after pressing to start and takes longer to load in after, loading up races take longer and selecting my cars tab selection takes ages to show up

On series x as wee

On SeriesX, been having long load times with it. Occasionally getting stuck for enough time for me to wash dishes at the initial loading screen (10 minutes I’m guessing). Also having a lot of missing images when looking at the garage (as someone who works by look of cars rather than names, its confusing). This is only since the latest update.

Definately feels a lot slower than it did a week ago.
