Same issue here, black screen with the white autosave icon at the top right. When trying to start the game. Me and my 3 friends are all experiencing this with Gamepass.
But (some) people have the Xbox game pass on PC, this when the game is on sale for ~8 bucks, and ~14 for game + 2 DLCs. Maybe the gamepass for 1 dollar for 3 months playing is attractive to test some games out.
Hello everyone 
The issue has been identified and we are working on solving it!
Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience 
Temporary Workaround: Although you can’t play multiplayer until we have addressed this issue, the game should be playable in Offline Mode in case anyone wants to do that while waiting for the fix to roll out.
EDIT: About offline play…
See the links below for more detailed information and steps on how to do offline play on PC / XBOX:
- PC - Xbox Support
- XBOX console - Xbox Support
The “offline permissions” setting on PC is more about allowing offline play and having it enabled allows you to play (some) games offline IF having followed the necessary steps (enabled setting, prepared your game for offline play, etc). Even if you have this setting on, IF you are online you should still be able to play everything online.
The thing with our game is that it is online by default and as long as you remain online our game will try to go online too. Thus, in order to play GenZ offline you need to make it so that your device (XBOX or PC) or application running the game is offline by e.g. putting xbox in offline mode, disconnecting internet cable, enabling offline mode in Steam, etc.

Is the infinite loading screen on new game / continue still occurring for you guys?
Anyone up for re-testing and sharing their test results in this topic?
EDIT: Please restart the game before trying again.

Yup, it sure is. Also how in the heck do you play offline with it being the XBOX Game Pass PC Version?

Yes, I’m still having the same issue, can’t play the game at all because of it. New character or continue, as well as trying to join a friends game, it all doesn’t work.
True, I was wondering that as well ?. 
Got it! Thanks for the info, much appreciated We’ll keep investigating and monitoring the situation and do our best to keep you updated on how this develops.
UPDATE: We have “flipped a switch” which should help with this issue, but it’s likely that there is a bit of a delay for the change to come into effect.

thank you very much appreciated, i hope you guys fix it as soon as possible. 
Hey @SR_knivspark
I see you are aware of the issues at hand, and appreciate your readiness.
I am also experiencing the same issues except I am on Windows 11.
I tried restarting Xbox App, and everything else the forums suggested, but to no success.
My specs are:
Processor Intel(R) Core™ i9-9900K CPU @ 3.60GHz 3.60 GHz
Installed RAM 32.0 GB
System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
Graphics Card NVIDIA RTX 2080 TI
Any updates of any kind are greatly appreciated!
Offline doesn’t seem to work for me. Even after changing the setting to “ON” and unplugging my ethernet cable to my router still nothing but black screen.
Yes, this is the same for me as well.

Yeah same here, now the game is letting me actually click on multiplayer, and I can sign into my Apex Connect account in the settings… But I still get an infinite loading screen when clicking new game or continue, and when I try to find a game in multiplayer the game crashes.

I just got the game on my pc through xbox game pass.
The game goes into black screen loop with autosave icon blinking on the top right, right after the short introduction. The game crashes when I try to get into multiplayer lobby and as soon I hit the “Find Game”
button. The game didn’t even start so no players with me.
