    It would not surprise me if game developers use those screens to gain more time to load assets and initialize things in the background.

    I’ll bet they do that with cutscenes and elevators too whenever you’re about to go into a new zone.

      Could be for some games, but it doesn’t apply to games which had the resume activities and were still exposing you a thousand times to the same screens.

      Also, at this point, they don’t know what game mode you’re gonna play so I don’t think they can load much except the general menu.
