Microsoft revealed a few new details regarding how matchmaking and waiting is handled with Smart Match tech.

Quote:
Smart Match pairs players based on”reputation, skill, language, age, and even your specific gameplay style.” Language, in this instance, referring to your native tongue (not whether you spew obscenities and racist/misogynistic slurs—though it’d be great if it could sort those who do from those who don’t).

According to Lavin, while Smart Match is considerably speedier than matchmaking on Xbox 360, one of the perks to operating on the Xbox One is the ability for players to multitask using the Xbox One Snap feature while Xbox Live conducts its matchmaking. Lavin says Xbox One owners can even kill time playing another game while they wait for Smart Match to find the “perfect game” for them. Once it does, the system sends players a prompt that allows them to easily jump into a multiplayer match.

Microsoft still currently unsure on the status of including a headset with Xbox One consoles.
