Xbox Introduces AI-Powered Copilot for Gaming on Mobile

The new feature, launching in preview next month, aims to assist players with in-game tips, tasks, and game management but faces skepticism over its initial functionality.

Microsoft's 'Copilot for Gaming' is an AI assistant designed to provide real-time tips, manage tasks, and enhance gameplay, accessible via the Xbox mobile app as a second screen.
Initial features include recommending game strategies, suggesting Overwatch characters based on team dynamics, and offering personalized recaps of previous gameplay sessions.
The AI can also handle smaller tasks like installing games via voice commands, notifying players when friends are online, and recommending new games based on preferences.
Critics argue that the current version delivers limited utility, with basic automation that players can often manage without AI, falling short of Microsoft's earlier ambitious demonstrations.
The feature will launch in preview for Xbox Insiders in April, with Microsoft planning to improve and expand its capabilities based on user feedback.
