Cortana sneaks onto Xbox One as a secret feature

Cortana isn’t due to officially appear on Xbox One until sometime next year, but she seems to have tried to sneak on a little early. Accessing her, however, feels a little like entering a cheat code.

You can summon Cortana by double-tapping the Xbox button to bring up the menu, then press up on the D-pad and then A twice. This gives you access to a hidden button. Once you press this button you’ll see a familiar interface if you’ve used Cortana on Windows Phone or Windows 10.

According to The Verge, you can start issuing commands by simply saying, “Hey Cortana.”
