Xbox One voice commands not available in all regions at launch


Xbox One voice commands will not be available in all markets when the console launches in November. Of the 13 regions where the Xbox One will be available in November, only five will support voice commands, according to an updated product page for the new system.

These regions are the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, France, and Germany.

Australia, Austria, Brazil, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, Spain, and New Zealand will be left out.

It is not clear when voice commands will be available in those regions. A Microsoft representative had not responded to GameSpot’s request for comment at press time.

The Xbox One was originally expected to launch in 21 territories in November, though Microsoft announced earlier this month that the console would be delayed in eight regions. Those in affected countries who preordered a Day One edition of the console will receive a free pack-in game.
