De preview members vvoor Xbox One hebben onlangs een update gekregen die ook Cortona bracht naar je console. Mocht je in het bezit zijn van kinect of een headset dan kan je haar gebruiken voor diverse taken. Gebruikers van Kinect zullen hier wel even aan moeten wennen want het gaat allemaal even anders.
