A new month is nearly upon us, which means Xbox One owners will be receiving a new March update in just a couple of days that will offer a number of new features, which includes screenshot support, a list of suggested friends, and the ability to share your real name with everyone on Xbox Live.

The March update, which is currently available for those who are a part of the Xbox One’s preview program, finally brings screenshot support to Microsoft’s console. Taking a screenshot can be achieved in two different ways: by double tapping the Xbox button or through voice command. Once you captured your screenshot, you’ll be able to share it within the Xbox One’s Upload app where others can like, comment, and share your creation. You’ll also be able to set your screenshot as your console’s background image.

Another improvement Microsoft made is to the console’s Friends app, which now allows you to share your real name with anyone and everyone on Xbox Live. Xbox One owners will also be able to make new friends through the app’s suggested friends feature, which recommends Xbox Live members based on people you follow, people you’ve played with, friends of friends, as well as influential members of the community.

To check out the rest of the additions Microsoft has made to the upcoming March update, check out the video Major Nelson published overnight.

      I'm still trying to figure out how to start and save the clips I want from XBone. Right now it does all this on automatic pilot.
      Ill be playing and POP, XBone informs me that it saved a clip of me jumping from roof top to roof top. Great.

      I don't even know how to upload it to anywhere.

      PS4 system is pretty straight forward.

      and to be honest the UI in Xbox One is fucking nuts.
      I'm always digging through there to see what they have and how it functions.
      They need to clean it up.

        Just say "Xbox, Record That" and it grabs the last thirty seconds.

        Then snap the Upload app, trim/edit, then Save the clips to make them permanently available.

            Plus if you want to save more than 30 seconds snap the game dvr app and start recording using that and you can get like 5 minutes or so I think,

            Ah so that's how. I've been meaning to look it up. The Share button on ps4 is definitely easier though.

      I'm actually really looking forward to this, as simple as it is, it's the only thing I miss from PS4 when I'm playing XBone
