Microsoft’s Chief Marketing and Strategy Officer Yusuf Mehdi guided players through a demo of the Xbox One’s snap feature in the latest video for the home console slated to launch on November 22.
The system’s Kinect-based snap commands allows players to watch TV, surf the web and check on their friends list during games like Forza 5, the racing game Mehdi happens to play during the demo. Our recent impressions of the Xbox One’s dashboard features noted that the system cannot snap two games side-by-side, as the operating system gives priority to games like Forza 5 and Dead Rising 3. Besides, you’d have to be some kind of secret octopus to pull off a feat like playing two games at once.
