Microsoft to add screenshot sharing for Xbox One

The Microsoft Xbox One doesn’t have the dedicated social sharing button that the Sony PlayStation 4 has but it will get in-game screenshot-sharing capability soon enough. Xbox head Phil Spencer tweeted that the ability to upload screenshots directly to Facebook or Twitter will be coming soon. Xbox has had the ability to record clips in-game since the beginning that it is good to add this simple feature to the console.

@jmarris09 Yea, this is the list for the monthly updates, team is making great progress on the updates. More features to come.
