My game client wont load past the “press A to start” portion of the boot-up. It’s stuck on an endless loading screen. Does this have something to do with the updates that were related to the devs giving out free cosmetics last week?

Other information would be appreciated like if you’re on PC / console 
I’ve had that issue until a week or so ago. Sometimes it’ll pop up the ‘syncing game data’ graphic with the bar endlessly looping left to right. Would happen if my kids had been playing a different game just prior to me loading up gears.
The only way was to restart the console, not even a sign out or exiting the game would help.
Had this happen to several other games as well including gears 5. Stuck on the initial loading screen. This morning as a matter of fact. TellTale Batman wouldn’t load. Then i tried Gears 5. Same thing. Hung on the inital loading screen. Happened a couple days ago. With several other titles. Tried quiting and rebooting the software. Didn’t work. Each time i ‘fixed’ it, was from fullshut down and then a cold boot. Each game then loaded fine. Another point, the problem has occured comming out of an awake state after some time away from the console. Overnight, i shut the console off but it’s in low power quick start mode, wake it up the next day, and try to load a game and it hangs on the initial load screen. Also doesn’t happen all the time either, like clockwork, it’s rather sporadic.
Maybe it’s something borked about the latest console update?
