Microsoft details Xbox One's 'revolutionary' Smart Match system
Microsoft has issued new details on how the Xbox One's "revolutionary" matchmaking system, called Smart Match, will work.
"Smart Match on Xbox One is completely reengineered for a new generation of gaming - using advanced algorithms to pair players based on skill, language, and now reputation," explains the firm.
"The advanced party system goes far beyond the beacons of Xbox 360, which was limited to people you already knew. Helping you discover and connect easily with players is now central to the experience. In addition, for the first time, games will be able to share player stats with Xbox Live and each other; to learn, evolve, and provide you with the best possible matchmaking available," it adds.
The console's multi-tasking abilities will allow you to pass the time previously spent waiting on matchmaking processes by switching between apps on the fly, including letting you watch TV or browse the internet.
Microsoft says that, in the case of "digital games" only (which we assume means Xbox Live Arcade titles), you will be able to play one game while matchmaking in another.
A simple on-screen prompt (pictured right) will alert you when matchmaking is complete and offer you an quick route back to the game in question.
New details on how the Xbox One's reputation-matching system works will be released tomorrow.
Microsoft has admitted today that it's "looking into" bundling headsets with Xbox One console in response to strong fan feedback.
The platform holder has previously said that the Kinect bundled with every Xbox One is intended to provide the console with out-of-the-box in-game chat capabilities in place of a headset which, as it stands, will be sold separately.

MW2-Rush This is a great idea, now I don't have to hear people speaking other languages.
I've been getting into a lot of matches with people who don't speak english o.o

KatsumiGossip Great, I get to play with people like me.
Hopefully this is the case. I really dislike being put in a game with people who constantly shout abuse at me.
I get that, always thought it was weird aha.

General_Raam I would also like to be paired up with people with similar down speed/ same internet connection speeds. I'm tired of lg compensation, I believe is the name of it.
It would be great to get a little less lag when i'm in game. Hopefully the console will be able to actually set the person with the best connection as host also
