xbox natural language search

Xbox has introduced a new feature called Natural Language Search to Insiders. As the name suggests, this feature lets players search for games using conversational language to find more relevant titles to play.

In the official release notes for this update, Microsoft says NLS can handle errors such as misspellings, acronyms, synonyms, and other variations better than traditional search services. Users are advised to try to feature with their preferred language.

Natural Language Search helps players find the right game for them using conversational language. This new search feature returns relevant results for queries such as “cozy farming games with fishing”, “FPS games with zombies”, or “puzzle games for kids”. Natural Language Search can also handle misspellings, acronyms, synonyms, and other variations much better than traditional search services.

Another new feature in this update is adding a thumbstick calibration tool in the Xbox Accessories app for the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. This tool allows players to recalibrate the thumbsticks to ensure they work properly.
