The new controller that will be released by the new Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S It will include a button that many users have demanded for a long time on Xbox One. It is the share button, a button present on PS4 and Nintendo Switch and that will finally arrive on 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 being cumbersome, quite slow and inefficient. Users are required to press the Guide button on the remote and then they must press the button Y 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 as 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 instead we press twice, we will open the screenshot gallery from where we can export the image where we want.
And that's where the new Xbox app in beta comes in, now available for Android. This new version of the mobile application will serve as a link with our console, since the captures made will appear immediately in the application (hopefully the upload won't take as long as it does 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 long-awaited button. Either with the simple, double and held press, we can decide which 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.
