Rumor: incoming news for the Xbox One, most important Guides and disappears the snap

The site Windows Central posted an interesting rumor, obtained from sources you trust are internal to Microsoft, regarding the future of the Xbox One. According to the informants, the operating system development team is working on a series of changes to make more immediate use of the console.

The first of these interventions will see greater centrality of Guides, the sidebar introduced last year and that we can invoke at any time by double clicking the Xbox button on the controller; According to these rumors, Microsoft will make the Guide available with one button press Xbox, now used to return to the home screen of the console. For this reason, the Guide will introduce a new section which will show the latest games and apps run as well as the tile of your home screen, making it less and less need to return to the home when we are in a game. Obviously the home will still exist, and it is therefore likely that there will be another way to get there, perhaps with double click or press & hold the Xbox button.

According to sources of the site, we also aim to eliminate the "snap" of the app, which today allows us to accompany certain applications to running games: this will be replaced by a "picture in picture" function that will allow app developers to place the screens of their app in a corner or side of the screen while we're running our games with the ability to move and adjust the transparency level so that it does not impede the game interface. This will ensure that when we use your apps in multitasking with games, the latter will not be resized and will continue to spin at full screen.

Windows Central explains that these and other measures that will be made to the Xbox One OS are targeted to improve and simplify the system in anticipation of the arrival of Project Scorpio, which we know will share the Xbox One operating system; in this way who will buy the new console you will find already a system extremely fast and easy to use, free from encumbrances and inheritance children of an age where the console was designed more as a multimedia machine.

Obviously, for now it's unofficial entries and as such with the benefit of the doubt: we will inform you when they are confirmed or denied officially.
