Console maker Microsoft has unveiled several new details about Xbox One's new matchmaking system, Smart Match, and how it will benefit users through a variety of unique changes to help alleviate frustration while waiting for a multiplayer game.

According to the new blog post one of the most notable changes is the ability to leave the game's multiplayer lobby but still retain your matchmaking status, allowing you to continue your single-player game or Skype with someone while it continues searching for opponents. "While Xbox Live is matchmaking, you’re untethered and free to do what you want, like watch TV or check out your favorite website or apps while waiting for your next game. If you’re playing digital games, you can even play one game while Smart Match prepares a second."

Other changes to the backend system include matching you with specific players according to reputation or skill level, ensuring you "won’t find yourself in way over your head but you’ll always have a good challenge."

Smart Match on Xbox One is completely reengineered for a new generation of gaming – using advanced algorithms to pair players based on skill, language, and now reputation. It’s smarter, faster and optimized to help you play with exactly the people you want, when you want. The advanced party system goes far beyond the beacons of Xbox 360, which was limited to people you already knew. Helping you discover and connect easily with players is now central to the experience. In addition, for the first time, games will be able to share player stats with Xbox Live and each other; to learn, evolve, and provide you with the best possible matchmaking available.

Those wondering what exactly will happen when a match is found while in-game, Microsoft has revealed its as simple as a toast window popping up alerting you that your game is ready to play.
