This feature, which was teased during a pre-E3 event on Monday, adds support for something that has always seemed like a natural use of Snap mode: tracking achievements. While you're playing, you'll be able to easily see the number of achievements (and accompanying gamerscore) you've unlocked in that game, as well as the progress you've made on individual achievements.
By default, achievements will be sorted by how close you are to unlocking them and will update in real time as you play. Alternatively, you can choose to pin specific achievements to the top that you're hoping to complete. And, should you have any trouble doing so, each achievement will offer a button you can press to easily search the web (with Bing, of course) for help.

As an Achievement Hunter myself this is absolutely fantastic news. Currently the way achievements opeate is you have to physically suspend your game just to view an achievement and its progress, then having to jump back into the game without a clear view of how close you are to getting said achievement. As someone who is also grinding for collectible achievements in watchdogs right now, this is fantastic for checking how much closer I am to finding everything, as well as future games that require tracking of say, "Get 50 Headshots with a Sniper," or something along these lines.

Also coming in the update is Snap Center.

Also added in the update is a new way to control Snap mode. If you don't already have anything snapped, double tapping the Xbox button will bring up "Snap Center," allowing you to choose from a list of apps that can be snapped. If you do already have an app snapped, double tapping will work as it does now, switching the focus back and forth between that app and whatever is in the center of the screen.
