Microsoft has offered a glimpse at what next month's Xbox One system update will introduce, and the most notable feature is what it calls "Achievement Snap."
This feature, which was teased during a pre-E3 event on Monday, adds support for something that has always seemed like a natural use of Snap mode: tracking achievements. While you're playing, you'll be able to easily see the number of achievements (and accompanying gamerscore) you've unlocked in that game, as well as the progress you've made on individual achievements.
By default, achievements will be sorted by how close you are to unlocking them and will update in real time as you play. Alternatively, you can choose to pin specific achievements to the top that you're hoping to complete. And, should you have any trouble doing so, each achievement will offer a button you can press to easily search the web (with Bing, of course) for help.
