That's not the only feature in the update. You can use Alexa or Cortana to quit a game, or even use it as an impromptu controller with "start navigation mode." American users can automatically pair an Xbox with Cortana from another device using the voice assistant. Beta Alexa support is available in the UK, too. Search results, meanwhile, are growing to include Xbox Assist and ready-to-install games from subscriptions like Xbox Game Pass or EA Access.

You'll also have another major streaming music option if you live in the States. Amazon has released a "brand-new" app for the console that provides access to Prime Music and Music Unlimited from your console. This isn't as vital when options like Spotify are already available, but it certainly won't hurt to have choices.
