The Xbox One's screenshot-making feature won't be added to the system's feature set until next year. Xbox head Phil Spencer explained to IGN (http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/10/22/december-xbox-one-update-smaller-wont-include-screenshot-feature) that as the company comes "back into the new year, we'll see new stuff, and screenshots is on the list." The news follows Spencer's promise a few weeks ago (http://www.joystiq.com/2014/10/08/spencer-screenshots-themes-and-more-coming-to-xbox-one/) that the company would deliver on oft-requested features such as screenshot creation and background themes for the Xbox One's dashboard. Those custom backgrounds will be part of the system's November update (http://www.joystiq.com/2014/10/21/custom-backgrounds-headline-xbox-ones-november-update/).

"In December, it's probably a time for us to pause for a little bit and settle just as all the new consoles are coming online," Spencer said, indicating a small break in the action for the console's development team. He also noted that screenshot creation for Xbox One is "a little more technically challenging than I thought," but that the team found a "good solution" two weeks ago. "They're working on it. They know people want it. The team has a path to getting it done, and now it's just prioritizing," he added.
