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.

Screenshots seem like a very good implementation for this.

With the recent updates to the dashboard Xbox is getting better and better every month!

I left my xbox as soon as i played it... I really don't like the dashboard or anything, it bores me. Might come back to it when more stuff gets added

Well at least they are listening to their community. That is what separates the good companies from the bad companies in my opinion.

Doesn't bother me that it's not coming until next year, because it will be a nice feature when it's released.

Miss As long as their isn't problems with it at release, it's all good.


There are always some bugs with every release. Might take a few weeks to get it all up to par.


No not really that's why Xbox have the preview program there will be a few bugs but it won't take a few weeks.

So it can capture videos but cannot yet capture screenshots?

This is okay with me, the video capture system is on point.
