14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has confirmed that, rather surprisingly, the Xbox One Kinect voice commands are region-locked, meaning a console owner can't use English voice commands if his/her Xbox One is configured to run in Germany, for example.
The Xbox One is set to launch later this week on November 22, and Microsoft has shared all sorts of details about the new device, its features, and its games.
Now, while talking about the special voice commands that can be used with the help of the Kinect sensor on the Xbox One, Microsoft's Albert Penello has revealed that the language for these commands is region-locked.
He confirmed this when a NeoGAF user named a situation in which he wants to use English voice commands but his Xbox One is configured for Germany.
Penello replied that the commands were locked and that the console would only listen to German voice commands.
