Xbox One 'Snap' mode lets apps run simultaneously

4.7
Xbox One, Microsoft's upcoming next-generation console, will allow multiple apps to run simultaneously through Snap mode. Microsoft's Yusuf Mehdi demonstrated the functionality while watching Star Trek, allowing him to instantly access Internet Explorer through the Xbox One to research trailers for the sequel film, look up movie times and even purchase tickets.

The ESPN app also showed off some Snap stuff, letting Xbox One users watch live sports on ESPN, then using Snap to research stats on key players by speaking to Kinect. Xbox One will even let fantasy sports fans update their teams and interact with their leagues through Snap mode.

Neat concept but I don't know how practical it will be.

Nice to know it will be able to do it but I don't think it's a feature I will use that much.

Cougar So does this mean that 2 games could be run at once?


No those are games. It says apps.
