Microsoft recently outlined further details about its DVR feature, explaining that the footage would be captured at 30fps 720p HD quality irrespective of the quality the game is being displayed at on the TV. The Xbox One’s game DVR functionality allows gamers to record up to 5 minutes of continuous gameplay footage, edit it and then share it with their friends. Xbox One gamers wishing to access the game DVR functionality along with the OneGuide and several other new features, will have to subscribe to an Xbox Live Gold account.Ĭonfirming the Xbox Live Gold requirements on its official website after earlier rumours, many of the Xbox One features will lie behind a golden wall of subscription.
When asked by Game Informer's Mike Futter whether or the Xbox One would be capable of recording future footage, as in letting a player preemptively record the following five minutes instead of having to search back and select a clip, Microsoft was tight-lipped, expressing that more information will soon be revealed.Microsoft has confirmed that the Xbox One will require an Xbox Live Gold account in order to access the game DVR and OneGuide features.
The company clarified last month that the PS4 would be capable of continuously recording up to 15 minutes of gameplay, while the Xbox One will only record five minutes. Xbox Gold members will also get access to Microsoft's new SmartMatch system - which will weed out abusive and disruptive players on top of ironing out some of the more frustrating features of online matchmaking like unbalanced teams and wait times - and the console's TiVo-like OneGuide system for entertainment curation.Īnd after all, Sony has already confirmed that the PlayStation 4's online multiplayer will require the $50 annual PlayStation Plus membership, so Xbox's move here could just be the standard if Sony decides to similarly restrict its game DVR functionality.Īs for the differences in the two next-gen consoles' recording feature, Sony's is currently more capable. Though if you've spent years shying away from a Gold membership because it simply didn't offer enough bang for the buck, this news might be a reason to fully fork over the $60 fee to enjoy the console's more celebrated features.
