Xbox One Could Remove “Snap” Mode
Microsoft has reportedly tested a new Guide menu tab that will offer “instant access” to recently used games, apps, and other system features. It’s believed that the overarching goal of these new features would be to make it faster and easier to find what players are looking for. The new menu is rumored to display your pins, which can then be customized in the tab, allowing you to access them more quickly. Perhaps more intriguing is that Microsoft is also reportedly considering the option for a single button press to access the Guide menu (which is how it worked on Xbox 360). As it stands today, you need to tap it twice.
As for the Snap changes, Microsoft is reportedly considering removing the multitasking feature altogether and replacing it with something new.
“Xbox looks to be exploring the possibility of a picture-in-picture multitasking implementation, where [a] ‘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,” Windows Central reported.
The Xbox One’s holiday update, which was released earlier this month, introduces features like Clubs, Looking for Group, and group messaging, as well as a new achievement rarity notification system”
