Gather round all you Xbox One fans, the next big update is out! <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Changes to Xbox Game Pass<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The July 2019 update<\/a> includes changes to Xbox Game Pass. Microsoft has added a new Xbox Game Pass feature, the \u201cPlay Later\u201d tab. As the name implies, this is a section where you can add games as a memo to yourself to play at a later time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Upgraded Alexa<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another update is the upgraded Alexa support for voice\ncommands. The Alexa voice commands have improved functionality and there are new\nvoice commands specific to Xbox Game Pass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many useful commands like “What’s new in Game Pass this\nmonth?”, or “What’s popular on Game Pass?”, or “What’s\nleaving Game Pass?” are coming with this update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another cool feature is that you can now use Alexa for\nsocial networking. Just ask “Alexa, what are my friends playing?”, or\n“Alexa, is [friend’s name] online right now?”. Also, you can now pair\nyour Xbox controller by saying “Alexa, ask Xbox to pair my\ncontroller.”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can see a full list of all the new Alexa voice commands here. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

More Supported Countries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It seems that Microsoft has heard the fans who wanted Xbox\nSkill for Alexa support in their country loud and clear. With this update,\nMicrosoft will be providing support for customers in Australia, Canada, France,\nGermany, Italy, Mexico, and Spain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be A Part of The Xbox Insiders Team<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The company also said that the update is partially based on\nfeedback from their Xbox Insiders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
