This Popular Xbox Feature Is Likely To Never Return 31 May 2022 by Richard Breslin The popular “Snap” feature that was available during the Xbox One era, is likely to never return in future updates. As spotted by Eurogamer, in response to a Follower’s reply on a Twitter thread, an Xbox engineer suggested that we might never see the Snap feature again. Eden Marie, the Xbox engineer in question, responded to a fan pleading to see Snap return. “If possible, please bring the snap feature back would be amazing. It’s a feature I and most of the community miss,” said SammyV604.ADVERT ADVERT Please Snap come back Eden! If possible please to bring the snap feature back would be amazing it’s a feature I and most of the community miss — SammyV604 (@DjSammyV) May 26, 2022 However, being the bearer of bad news, Eden Marie replied: “While we all miss Snap, I don’t think it’s coming back.” In case you didn’t know, Snap was quite a handy little feature. It allowed gamers to place an app on one side of the screen, such as a YouTube video while still being able to play video games simultaneously. Essentially, it allowed Xbox One gamers to multi-task. While we all miss snap, I don’t think it’s coming back.— Eden Marie (@neonepiphany) May 26, 2022 Snap ain t coming back In response to Eden Marie’s reply, other Xbox fans shared their disappointment with the news.ADVERT ADVERT Snap was one of the main reasons I switched from @PlayStation to @xbox. Been a PS guy since gen 1. Always held out hope it would come back. Guess I’ll be going back to PS in the future since the Xbox is solely a games console again and PS has better exclusives.— Luke (@KulHandLuke33) May 30, 2022 Credit: Twitter The Snap feature was dropped by Microsoft following an Xbox system update in 2017. So, it’s been five years since we’ve been able to use the feature. Will this feature ever return should fans continue to request it? Only time will tell.
