The concept of time-limited Stories has gained a lot of traction on social media platforms like Snapchat, Instagram, and Facebook. Citing the popularity of Stories, Microsoft has now jumped onto the bandwagon and brought Snapchat-like Stories to its Xbox app on iOS and Android to let gamers share disappearing content with their friends and the Xbox community. Check out the details right below.
Microsoft recently shared an official blog post to announce new features and changes coming to the Xbox app on Android and iOS. As part of the May update, the Xbox app will gain support for Snapchat or Instagram-like Stories that lets gamers create, share, and view Stories in the Xbox community. The company says that the Stories functionality “lets you showcase your skills and keep up to date with your friends.”
It is said that users will be able to share a game clip, screenshot, or an achievement in a game on their Stories and they will be live for 72 hours. This is much longer than the 24-hour window on Snapchat, Instagram, and more platforms. The shared Stories also remain in a user’s activity feed on their profile as long as it lasts for viewers.
