Microsoft Demonstrates The Snap Function In New Xbox One Video
We can officially count the days until the next-gen arrives on our fingers without resorting to our toes, and as we gear up, Microsoft is releasing videos focusing on the Xbox One's specific functions, like the snap feature.
In the video you will see Microsoft's Yusef Mehdi playing Forza, searching the web, and watching ESPN, all without shutting down his game. We've seen the feature before in the videos like this, which offers a detailed look at most of the Xbox One's new features, but this is the first to focus entirely on the snap function.
Xbox One is only 10 days away, launching November 22.
Our Take
Some scoff at the idea of doing two things at once, like watching TV and playing video games, but it is personally something I do all the time, usually with handheld games. This is a feature I could see myself using often. Do you think you will use it?
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
