　　Players do not need to own an Echo device in order to use voice controls and do not need to preface every command with Alexa. Sample spoken commands are "swap to my best weapon" or "where is the nearest workbench." Any headset and mic will be compatible with Amazon's Game Control.

　　It's currently unknown what other games Alexa Game Control will come to. It's in private beta, so interested developers will need to fill out a form.

　　2022's Gamescom was filled with new announcements and trailers. Chief among them was a confirmed release date for Dead Island 2, a game with a turbulent development history. It will be released on February 3, 2023. Prior to the Gamescom announcement, Dead Island 2's Day 1 Edition preorders suddenly went live. You can preorder Dead Island 2 Day 1 Edition on Amazon for $70.
