Xbox One can run four apps simultaneously, allows sign-in for 6 users

4.5
Microsoft was showing the Xbox One at this year’s TGS and confirmed some details about the machine’s multi-tasking abilities and more.

The firm was demonstrating the console’s somewhat less known features to Destructoid. Microsoft’s Albert Penello’s reportedly showed the console’s ability to run four applications simultaneously. It’ll only run one game at at a time, rather obivously.

Switching between apps is similar to mobile functionality, with the OS allowing you to choose between boxes represent apps or games on the home screen.

Xbox One will support multiple sign-ins, with up to six users live at once. Kinect will decide the leader based on who’s holding the controller. Kinect will also recognize your voice among others in the room and launch games with your saves and settings.

Furthermore, Kinect will allow you to sign-in by just waving your hands, and will then pull all your details and saves from the cloud to the console.

raefon Another pointless addition, who cares about multitasking and signing in multiple people.

And sure the Kinect can recognise your voice, oh how I can see that just going down in flames.

Oh lets wave and "The Cloud" will load the information......presuming you have the internet connection and speed to go with it.

Blah blah blah all in a perfect world.


These days, the vast majority of gamers DO have internet connection and competitive speed. Unless they live in a third world country, this is average, not a "perfect world" scenario. Why would they cater to a fringe minority instead of the vast majority?


Wow you are being really ignorint saying that most people have a fast internet speed. Did you know 1/4 of the world doesn't even have internet. Also if you live in the country, which alot of people from the midwest do you get crappy internet connection
Ignore him he is just a fanboy and I think it is less than 1/4.


Agree DavidDouche cant be taken seriously everything is fan boy related and agree with the Microsoft stand point regardless what it is.

As for average and not perfect world, well Australia definitely not third would unless your talking internet. Our plans suck, our speeds such, our infrastructure is rubbish and we have a government placing yet more cable which is 10 mb/s upgradable to 25 or 100 if you pay more money but yet is not available to the vast majority of the country.

So when it comes to speeds and internet we do suffer and the **** eyed opinion that fast and reliable internet is available to the majority is looking through rose colored glasses.


Are you kidding me? how fast do you think you need :L i live in Australia and i have crappy net yet i can do everything fine? rather odd where you are coming from unless you live in the outback well then ofc you would have slow internet
