The new controller to be released by the new Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S will include a button that many users have long demanded on Xbox One. It is the share button , a button present on PS4 and Nintendo Switch and that will finally come to Xbox with all these functions.
Taking screenshots on Xbox Series X
The new generation will take advantage of its extreme speed to take screenshots faster than ever. The current process available on Xbox One is, in addition to cumbersome, quite slow and ineffective. Users are required to press the Guide button on the remote and then press the Y button to take a screenshot, or X if what they want to do is a recording of what happens on the screen.
Well, this complex set of buttons will disappear forever, since as we knew, the new controller that will arrive with the new Xbox Series X and S will include a dedicated button to perform these functions.
Click, double click and press
Thanks to an official video shared by Microsoft itself, we can now know exactly how this button will work depending on how we press one way or another. And it is that, with a simple press, the system will take a screenshot of the content that we are playing at that moment, a long press will generate a video and if we press twice instead, we will open the screenshot gallery from where we can export the video. image where we want.
And that’s where the new beta Xbox app comes in, now available for Android. This new version of the mobile application will serve as a link with our console, and the captures made will appear immediately in the application (hopefully the upload does not take as long as it happens on Xbox One and OneDrive).
An action that we can customize
The best thing is that this new button can be customized to our liking thanks to a new system menu from which we will be able to define a function when pressing the desired button. Either with the single, double and held press, we can decide what action will be executed, although unfortunately the available options will only be the three functions that arrive programmed by default, so we can simply modify the order and not the function itself . It’s something.
