New Xbox One feature will suggest games your friends are playing

The Xbox One system will now feature a new tool that suggests games based on what your friends are playing.

“Directly from the Guide you will be able to quickly get more information on a game your friend is playing,” Xbox Live’s Larry Hryb said in a tweet.

We are starting to roll out a new feature for Xbox One: Directly from the Guide you will be able to quickly get more information on a game your friend is playing – with a link to play it (if installed), install (if you own it) or buy it + a link to the official club pic.twitter.com/VpVGqPzI6u

The feature will also prompt you to install or buy suggested games, based on whether you already own a copy.

“Look for it soon when you are in the Guide and you click on a friends profile,” Hryb further explained.

Back in September, the console also received support for the Google Assistant, allowing users to access their Xbox Ones using voice control.
