Unlock Cortana on Xbox One

Unlock Cortana on Xbox One
Matt Davis
October 9, 2015

After Microsoft announced all the new updates for Xbox One that will be launched in November, gamers seemed to notice that there was no information about Cortana. The new update Xbox One experience will receive next month won’t officially launch Cortana Voice Assistant but there is a hidden preview. Although Microsoft revealed that Cortana will be available at the end of this year for preview members the feature can already be unlocked.

This Cortana preview seems to be added for testing because it doesn’t have all the features that are available for PC. If you are a member of the new Xbox One experience here is how you can unlock Cortana:

  • Firstly bring up the guide by hitting the Xbox button twice
  • Navigate down until you find the gear symbol which is the Settings feature
  • Enter the Option by pressing Left
  • Press Up once and the words in the menu should not be highlighted anymore. If this doesn’t happen press up several times
  • Press A until your Xbox One takes you to the Cortana app
  • There you have it now you can set up Cortana

This Cortana preview feature and the steps were found by a Xbox One enthusiast named Jeffrey Grubb and he said that the app misses lots of options like adding things in a to-do list or the inability of setting a reminder. Microsoft wants to officially launch Cortana next year, but besides the preview expected in the new Xbox One experience by the end of this year, the hidden feature can be considered an early glimpse on how Cortana will work on Xbox One.

Who doesn’t enjoy listening to a good story. Personally I love reading about the people who inspire me and what it took for them to achieve their success. As I am a bit of a self confessed tech geek I think there is no better way to discover these stories than by reading every day some articles or the newspaper . My bookcases are filled with good tech biographies, they remind me that anyone can be a success. So even if you come from an underprivileged part of society or you aren’t the smartest person in the room we all have a chance to reach the top. The same message shines in my beliefs. All it takes to succeed is a good idea, a little risk and a lot of hard work and any geek can become a success. VENI VIDI VICI .
