Alexa Can Now Download Xbox Game Pass Games to Your Console

From PC Mag: If the convenience of Xbox Game Pass wasn't enough already, Amazon is making it even easier to select and install the next game to play using the service.

Today, Amazon announced it has partnered with Microsoft to add a new feature to the Xbox Alexa skill. It's now possible to ask Alexa to download specific games to your console, simply by saying, "Alexa, download (game) from Xbox Game Pass." This should work anywhere Alexa is available, be it at home using an Echo smart speaker, in your Echo Auto-equipped car, or wearing your Echo Buds.

With over 100 games available to play on Xbox Game Pass it can be difficult choosing which one to play next. You may decide on the next one after watching a YouTube video or reading about it on a gaming website, but at that point you're probably not near your console. With this Alexa skill option, you can have the game prepared for you then and there. It doesn't get much more convenient than that.
