Machinima to launch exclusively on Xbox One worldwide on November 22

Machinima will launch exclusively for Xbox One worldwide at the launch of the console on November 22, Microsoft and Machinima have announced.

A new and improved Machinima app promises to take advantage of the Xbox One platform capabilities to give gamers an experience they won’t find anywhere else.

Some of the new functionality offered by the app on Xbox One include the following, as explained by Matthew Cohen, director of Business Development, Machinima.

Xbox, Snap Machinima! One of the cool new capabilities of Xbox One is the ability to do two things at once, on the same screen. Xbox is calling this new feature “Snap,” and we are taking full advantage of it. With the new Xbox, you can say “Xbox, Snap Machinima” while playing a game and Machinima will launch on the right side of your TV screen. The ability to put both of these experiences on the same screen gives us the chance to do some really powerful things with your gaming experience. One of the first things “Xbox, Snap Machinima” will do is offer curated videos from our catalog based on the current game you’re playing. These videos will provide everything from game walk-throughs, game reviews, help videos and more. Additionally, we’ll offer an enhanced Snap experience, also known as “Machinima Wingman,” for a select number of Xbox One titles that will provide richer, custom-created and exclusive videos to complement gameplay experiences and offering everything from in-game help and tutorials to strategy videos.”

The video below highlights how the feature works with Dead Rising 3.

Xbox One SmartGlass Integration: In addition to the Snap experiences, we’ll also launch an Xbox One SmartGlass experience, giving you a second-screen companion so you can keep your game full-screen on the TV and get a sidekick Machinima experience on your smartphone or tablet.

The service will evolve over time.
