At the Xbox E3 2014 Media Briefing, Microsoft’s Larry “Major Nelson” Hyrb confirmed updates to the Xbox One’s Achievement app.

The app will allow for snapping, and with its improved functionality, will show tracking for achievements you’ve yet so unlock. Using Dead Rising 3 as an example, the snapped Achievement app displayed how many more zombies needed to be killed by the player to unlock one of the game’s various “kill # of zombies” achievements.

The app will also make it easier to find strategy guides for those hard-to-unlock achievements.

The Achievement app will be updated by this winter.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
