Cortana is finally here for your Xbox One, with Microsoft rolling out the software as part of its summer system update for the console. The richer, smarter voice control has come after multiple delays since 2015.
Head of Xbox platform engineering at Microsoft, Mike Ybarra, told gamers to expect more from voice commands with the addition.
"Cortana provides the ability to use a headset or Kinect," he write in a blogpost. "You'll be able to use Cortana to find great new games, see what your friends are up to, start a party, accomplish common tasks, turn on your Xbox One if you're using Kinect, and more."
In addition to the new features, Players can now sort their game collection, as well as view the games that need updating.
Updates also include a background music feature allowing users to play music and games simultaneously using apps like Groove music, Pandora, iHeartRadio.
Ybarra added that players would also have a "streamlined the shopping experience."
"You'll be able to filter search results by genre, read reviews written by fellow gamers — including those voted "most helpful" by the Xbox Live community — easily recognize what titles are on sale with strikethrough pricing in lists, and more. We've also added several new channels to help you discover the content you love even faster."
