Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Microsoft Removes Snap From Xbone

pbroy on 24 January 2017

OK, so I get home from work and notice I got the new dashboard update from the Preview Program. I like how you can just one press the Xbox button, instead of double tapping to get the guide open. Then I try to snap something. I usually like to snap TV while I play. I can't seem to figure out how to make the new guide snap. So I do a quick search on Google and this happened:

Dude, fuck that shit... 😐

What? Why? That seems...dumb...



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

I hated snap. I'm glad they got rid of it. But I will say that I know people that used it quite a bit.

I've never used it, so if it makes it a bit faster, that's cool

Nice! It's coming back and looks a lot better than the other one.

It's apparently getting replaced with PiP

Instead, Xbox looks to be exploring the possibility of a picture-in-picture multitasking implementation, where "snapped" app would simply hover in the corner of your game, rather than wiping out a quarter of your screen with a largely empty bar.

Example:

Also the new Xbox Achievement tracking pretty much does this now.

This article was back in November. So Jez's insider was actually right. 🙄

Admittedly I actually used this feature for crap games I just wanted to complete through to the end. Destiny, Watch Dogs and Division mainly.

Unbelievable, this was my favorite XBO feature, and most wanted XBO feature on PS4.

I have spent so many weekends playing madden or NBA 2K with friends while having a game snapped. I always wished Sony would allow PS Vue to do something similar so I could do the same thing on my set up.

I really hope they have something coming to replace this, because I was really looking forward to using this myself when I pick up my Scorpio later this year.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.
