How to Use Alexa Game Control in Dead Island 2
Players only require an Amazon account and a microphone to use the Alexa Game Control feature in Dead Island 2. While a headset is recommended by the game, owning an Amazon Echo or any other Alexa Built-in device is not essential since the feature is already integrated into the game.
Once you fulfil these two conditions, you'll be asked to activate Alexa Game Control early in Bel-Air. You can find the tutorial message in the Options menu if you miss it. You will then need to link your Amazon account by entering a six-letter code or scanning a QR code.
Once linked, go to the Alexa Game Control settings screen to customize your preferences. The status should read "Ready" on the right. You can start using Alexa Game Control when you load a saved file. The red circle in the bottom left corner will be replaced with a dark circle that blinks blue when it hears your commands. It will display some text to confirm if it correctly hears your command.
