Xbox One Smart Match

One of the most terrible and impatient time when looking for an online gameplay on Xbox is to wait until it finds one. I remember when playing Gears of War : Horde Mode I waited literally for 30 minutes to find one gameplay. Worst thing is that you cannot do anything when match making is in progress. Thanks to the cloud technology used in Xbox One, you wont have to wait for hours.

Match Making in Cloud: Prior to Xbox One, match making for games was based on peer-based host search which needed the console to keep the seeker stay in queue while others join in. This has change to untethered cloud-based technology where you can start match making for one game and play some other game or even do something important.

Matchmaking by DLC: If you ever wished to play matches by choice of your favorite DLC, You will be able to do it on Xbox One. Most of us who get access to season pass always love to play whatever is latest but the current match making system seems to be doing lucky draw to find games and you always end up playing the same DLC again and again.

Global Beacons: Beacons were introduced in one of the metro dashboard updates which allows you to tell your friend that you want to play certain game. Most of the time it did not turned out to be fruitful because your friends don’t have the same game and they are most probably waiting on you to share the game.

This has changed and the beacons are now global and set into the world-wide community of gamers who are playing the same game or when they own it. This results in again less waiting time.

Learning Algorithm: Xbox One Smart match making algorithm will learn on its own by reading the data around you. New options will roll in slowly where you will get more local users popping up in your gameplay and even who speak the same language.
