Microsoft will launch Internet Explorer for Xbox this autumn in all countries where Xbox and Xbox LIVE are available, the software giant announced today.

The service will be free, but an Xbox LIVE Gold membership will be required, as is the case with almost all other apps available for the platform.

Microsoft says that Internet Explorer will use the “power of Xbox, the magic of Kinect and the intelligence of Xbox SmartGlass”, making it possible to surf the net using your voice on your Xbox 360 and navigate using your mobile devices for an easy web browsing experience on the television.
