Hey, you know that Xbox One snap feature that looks good on paper, but doesn’t always work out so great in real life? Yeah, that thing that occasionally pops up on the side of screen and frustrates the hell out of you, by not living up to its full potential. Well it is about to get a whole lot better. Microsoft is now previewing the upcoming October 2014 update, that will change the way you look at the app. The new update will also feature some a new way to view your game achievement progress.
The offical Xbox.com Xbox Wire blog is previewing the upcoming October update, including the new Snap update:
“Snap Updates--We’ve updated the Snap Center to include quick access to many of the things our fans wanted faster access to when playing a game – Friends, Messages, Game DVR, clock, and battery indicator--as well as making it easier to close and open new snap apps when playing a game. A double tap of the Xbox button on your controller will bring up a menu that allows you to open a new app in snap mode, close the current snapped app, or switch focus between your game and your running snapped app. Additionally, two apps have been optimized for Snap mode”
Another great new snap feature is the achievement app. The app was updated over the summer, is getting an additinal faceleft:
“Achievements App--Updated to enable sharing of achievements you've unlocked with captions, see a list of friends who have unlocked specific achievements, and an updated achievements Snap landing page that that shows Achievements on recently played games, when a user is not actively playing a game.”
