Did you know you could use your Alexa device and Google Home to control your Xbox Series X?
In a clip on Xbox News' Twitter, the console can be seen being powered on and asked to play Doom Eternal. It gladly obeys as it boots up, logs into the account and begins playing the game.
It's worth noting that this feature can be used with an Xbox One console, too. So even those who haven't managed to make the jump to the next-gen can take advantage of a speedier boot up process.
To enable it, simply enter the console settings, go to "Devices and connections" and then into "Digital assistants". Here you can setup Alexa and be on your way to audibly controlling your console. Unfortunately, she can't be used to play your games, but it's definitely a quick way to get into the action!

I've been using this/Google assistant on my Xbox for some month's now - it generally works really well.
I'll tell it to open a game/app while walking to my TV and when I get there it's turned the TV on and then open.
I did but it's not really something I'd ever use tbh.
Only time I make use of voice assistants like this is for sometimes changing music when I'm driving
@roe i use it to take video clips of my games... this is a old feature that ive been using on my one x for over a year now
Yeah I can live without this, that Alexia stuff creeps me out.
