Amazon has announced the launch of 'Alexa Game Control,' an all-new gaming tool that enables users to play video games by using their voice. The first game to implement the new technology will be 'Dead Island 2,' an action-adventure zombie game developed by Dambuster Studios.
Alexa Game Control offers gamers a completely hands-free tool for gaming that was designed to create more immersive experiences. As of right now, the new tool is currently in its beta stage and will only be available in North America. To use Alexa Game Control, players must have an Amazon or Prime account.
According to the company, the new voice activation tool was made using the same technology that powers Alexa's voice artificial intelligence.
