Microsoft Rolls Out Copilot For Gaming Beta On Xbox Mobile App: Retail’s Yet To React

Microsoft Corp.(MSFT) has introduced a new AI-driven feature, Copilot for Gaming (Beta), as part of its ongoing efforts to enhance gaming through artificial intelligence. 

The tool is currently in early testing and accessible through the Xbox mobile app for both Android and iOS users in several regions.

Copilot for Gaming enables players to engage with the AI through either voice commands or text input, delivering instant support that aligns with their gameplay, previous sessions, or earned achievements. 

Users can seek help with in-game challenges, receive suggestions for new titles to try, or check details related to their Xbox account and membership status.

Functioning as a secondary screen tool, the assistant aims to support gaming sessions without interrupting the action. 

If a gamer is facing a tough enemy or looking for the next role-playing adventure, Copilot taps into the gamer’s Xbox activity and combines it with information sourced through Bing to give timely responses. 

When additional context is needed, it includes related links to external content.

Gamers who are 18 or older in the U.S., Australia, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, and various other locations can now try out the beta version.

Android users can find the Xbox beta app on the Google Play Store if it’s already installed. For iOS users, a broader rollout is expected in upcoming releases. 

Additionally, Copilot for Gaming (Beta) will make its way to Windows PCs through Game Bar, with plans for expanded availability in the near future.

Microsoft encouraged Copilot beta participants to share their input. Testers can offer feedback within the app or evaluate Copilot’s answers using thumbs-up or thumbs-down ratings.
