Xbox One will soon let you take in-game screenshots

4.6
Your Xbox One lets you livestream or record video to share your gaming exploits, but that's overkill when all you want to do is brag about a shiny new Forza car. Wouldn't it be nice if you could take a screenshot, like your PlayStation 4-toting friends can? You'll have that option soon. After months of promises, Microsoft's Phil Spencer has shown off an Xbox One screen capture feature that lets you share still images. He's quick to warn that this isn't the finished interface, and that the feature will get a "proper intro" when it's ready for a preview -- it could be a while before you're giving this a spin. Even so, it's good to know that you won't have to take a photo just to prove that you beat an arch-rival's score.

I don't see why they didn't put this in when they added the recording feature.

TH9 TBH it's not that great of a feature. Most Xbox users won't use it, and the ones that will, will more than likely have trouble with it. Lol.


Not hard at all to double tap the home button and press Y instead of X. Excited to see this come so I don't have to record then screenshot it on my laptop.

Nice to see XBOX finally getting this. I find it very useful on the PS4, especially when I want to screenshot a team or funny moment within the game on FIFA.

This sounds like it would be a good feature.

I have a HDPVR 2 so I just press on button on my computer and it screenshots, so this is useless to me as I've already had this feature for 5 years xD
