Xbox has integrated its skill into Amazon's Alexa and Microsoft's Cortana enabling players to access the game console through voice-activated assistants. The skill will be available on devices running Windows 10, Sonos One, iOS and Android, initially in the US but later throughout the rest of the world, based on testing and feedback. Xbox has consistently been at the forefront of adding voice control into its hardware, with users able to interact with their console using the motion-sensing Kinect and some rudimentary voice commands since the Xbox 360 era. "We are excited about this new feature that allows gamers to play their favorite games with Alexa," said John Riccitiello, president at Electronic Arts.
