    I have XBOX Series X and I've installed TSW3 plus all its DLC on an SSD expansion card. Despite this, load times are very long - generally a few minutes, even when supposedly 'resuming'. Occasionally the Quick Resume game function seems to work, cutting load times significantly, but this happens very infrequently.

    Have others had a similar experience on Series X?

    A few minutes? Load times for me are at maximum, maybe, 10 seconds? Plenty of DLC installed too. I know the SSD card was reported to be slightly slower, but I didn't think it increased times that much

    Even on my Series S with 512 GB expansion card and all German DLC installed the loading times are undenneath 10 sec. But I must admit that TSW3 is installed on the internal drive, but this should make no difference. So I guess there is something wrong with your setup. Maybe a reinstall will help?

    I find TSW3 load times to be 40ish seconds on Series X, around double that of TSW2. I have almost every DLC installed.

    If it's installed on the 2TB Seagate expansion variant, it should actually load faster, as the 2TB one has a better controller on it. I've tested this myself repeatedly under multiple circumstances and read/write times are measurably faster than the internal drive and the 1TB variant.

    Nearly every DLC installed, Series S, and load times are lightning fast.

    Okay, many thanks for the useful feedback folks - looks like an issue with my set-up.

    I'll try clearing space on my internal SSD and pulling all 150+ GB of game + multiple DLCs onto there.

    I think it loads faster on XSS than on XSX, too.

    I have an xsx and most of the dlcs I’m in the 20-30 seconds camp. It may actually be faster than I think but it seems like forever
