Xbox One November 2019 Update Brings Google Assistant Support and More

Nov. 16, 2019

While Xbox One already supported Amazon’s Alexa and Microsoft’s own Cortana, anofficial blog postby Microsoft says that the support for Google Assistant will now enable gamers to interact with their console in even more ways using just their voice, including the ability to turn the device on and off, launch games and apps, play and pause videos, and perform a whole host of otheractions from any Google Assistant-enabled device, including Google Home speakers, iPhones and Android handsets.

As mentioned earlier, Google Assistant is not the first voice assistant to be integrated with the Xbox One. Amazon Alexa already has an Xbox skill that can be used to control the console with voice commands, but the new option will definitely offer a great new option for users to interact with the device. Additionally, the console also supports Microsoft’s own Cortana voice assistant, as one would expect.
