Welcome to the Xbox for Google Assistant Beta! For more information, see: https://aka.ms/googleactionsupport

With the release of the Xbox Action for Google Assistant, you can now interact with your Xbox One in even more ways using just your voice, including the ability to turn your console on and off, launch games and apps, play and pause videos, and more, from the Google Assistant and Home-enabled devices, as well as the Google Assistant apps on iOS and Android.

The new Xbox Action for Google Assistant releases to public beta on Xbox One today and is available to all customers in English during the beta period. Google and Xbox are working together to expand language support before launching more broadly to the Xbox community later this fall.

Here’s how to get started:

  1. Join this Google Group

  2. Sign into your Xbox

  3. In the Google Home app for iOS or Android:

    1. Tap “+ Add”

    2. Tap “Set up device”

    3. Tap “Have something already set up?”

    4. Search for and select “[beta] Xbox”

  4. Sign in with the Microsoft account you use on Xbox

  5. Follow the instructions to link your Xbox and give it a device name
    If no devices are found, try enabling the Digital Assistants setting on your console (Settings > Kinect & Devices > Digital Assistants)

Once you’re all set up, here are a few actions you can try to get you started with controlling your Xbox One with Google Assistant:

  • · “Hey Google, play Gears 5 on Xbox.”

  • · "Hey Google, turn on Xbox.”

  • · "Hey Google, turn off Xbox.”

  • · “Hey Google, launch YouTube on Xbox.”

  • · "Hey Google, pause on Xbox."

  • · "Hey Google, resume on Xbox."
