Microsoft is now rolling out the November 2019 Update (version 1911) for Xbox One consoles, and among the new features, the new release brings support for Google Assistant.
However, it’s not the case that Xbox One now includes Google Assistant build into the operating system, instead, it’s a new feature that allows to connect a Google Assistant compatible device to your console to use voice commands.
If you have a supported device, you can use the Google Home app to set up the Google Assistant with your Xbox One.
Once the assistant is configured, you’ll be able to launch games, apps, start and shut down the console as well as control volume, take screenshots, pause media, and more.
Here’s a full list of the commands that you can use to control your Xbox console (via Reddit).
In addition to the new support for Google Assistant, Microsoft is rolling out new filters to control the language of the text you read in messages.
As part of gamertags improvements, there are 13 new alphabets to help everyone to pick the preferred gamertag, no matter the language, and more.
The November 2019 Xbox Update is available immediately, it’ll download and install automatically, but you can force the update from Settings > System > Updates > Update console, and tapping the Start update button.
