Cortana is Headed to The X1 Via Xbox One Update
This morning we learned the Xbox One will have Microsoft’s own virtual assistant, Cortana. The company announced they will be releasing a summer Xbox One update to a limited Xbox Preview audience for Xbox One. And in the coming weeks they will start to release the update to the Xbox app (beta).
This summer update will include support for Cortana along with other improvements aimed at unifying the gaming console with the Windows 10 platform, and more. Cortana won’t be limited to gaming-related functions when it arrives, although those will be the heavier focus.
According to the Xbox Wire: “Cortana is coming to Preview in the U.S., U.K., France, Italy, Germany and Spain first, and gamers can expect the familiar Cortana experience found on other Windows 10 devices. Cortana voice commands on Xbox One will work with both headsets and Kinect. 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. We’ll continue to build Cortana features over time and our vision is to use Cortana to help elevate your experience as your personal digital assistant for gaming. Just say “Hey Cortana” or launch the app to get started!”
