Xbox One's screenshot feature won't arrive until next year

4.5
The Xbox One's screenshot-making feature won't be added to the system's feature set until next year. Xbox head Phil Spencer explained to IGN that as the company comes "back into the new year, we'll see new stuff, and screenshots is on the list." The news follows Spencer's promise a few weeks ago that the company would deliver on oft-requested features such as screenshot creation and background themes for the Xbox One's dashboard. Those custom backgrounds will be part of the system's November update.

"In December, it's probably a time for us to pause for a little bit and settle just as all the new consoles are coming online," Spencer said, indicating a small break in the action for the console's development team. He also noted that screenshot creation for Xbox One is "a little more technically challenging than I thought," but that the team found a "good solution" two weeks ago. "They're working on it. They know people want it. The team has a path to getting it done, and now it's just prioritizing," he added.

JRMH well than hopefully the screenshots are HD af!
the video capture isn't the best quality, well, at least it wasn't. It's awesome being able to access my clips straight from my phone with the smartglass app though!


They aren't HD quality so they don't take up too much space on the cloud and they upload quicker, but HD would be pretty sweet. I was hoping for 720p video but it's not even that -_-
I hopE the screenshots will be in 1080p or the native game resolution as they will be a max of 2MB
