Another update - "OK Google" Hotword Detection

I wonder how long it'll take the US carriers to release this one:

New Galaxy S9 update adds ‘Hey Google’ voice command for Google Assistant

Wouldn't this update just be pushed through the Playstore for the Google app? I haven't read the article yet but it seems it would just go through the Playstore.

It would require an update from Samsung. They can tweak thing through Play Services (the thing that runs all Google services) on their end but something on the phone itself usually requires an update since it is built into the phone. Hence why this comes as an update to the OS versus just something they can add to your settings.
