The feature supports the broadest arena of in-game interactions between players across thousands of games that offer in-game multiplayer voice chat.

With the new feature, the company aims to make players feel comfortable jumping into any multiplayer chat.

The voice reporting feature will be available to console players in select English-language markets — US, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand — via the Xbox Insiders program.

“We are actively working toward supporting additional languages as we continue our investment in voice moderation,” the company said.

Meanwhile, last month, Microsoft had introduced the Starfield Limited Edition wireless controller and headset, Xbox Series S in Carbon Black colour with 1TB of storage, and much more.
