Xbox One Gets Six Seconds Of Joy At A Time With New Vine App
Microsoft has announced that Vine, the six-second video app, is now available on Xbox One. Xbox Live Gold members can start using the service to view clips today.
Through the app, which can be snapped to the side of your screen, you can view popular vines, or explore through the channel interface. The app supports gesture and voice control, as well as controller and remote control options.
The Vine app is currently for viewing only, so you can’t (yet) use your Kinect camera to record your short dramatic works. The app is available in 34 countries, including the United States, Canada, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and many countries in Europe and Asia. Click here for the full list.

Our Take
Six seconds does seem like a lot of time within which to create a story. However, I have seen some amazingly complex Vines, including some fantastic magic tricks. If you’ve not yet checked out some of the creations, this is an enjoyable way to pass the time.
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.
