On PC quite long load times but not infinite at RJTT & RJAA.
Hopefully some Xbox users can provide their feedback.

It takes more than 3:30 minutes, with PG off…

I’m not sure about the loading times before WU20, but now it seems normal for it to take around three minutes on Xbox Series X if you spawn near populous areas like Tokyo, Nagoya, or Osaka. Areas like Hokkaido tend to load faster.
