Microsoft is testing a new feature called Copilot for Gaming, now available in beta on the Xbox mobile app for iOS and Android.
This new tool works like a smart assistant for gamers, helping them with tips, downloads, and game-related tasks without needing to leave the app.
Xbox Copilot gaming feature
Gaming is a form of entertainment where players use consoles, computers or mobile phones to play story-based adventures, sports games, and more.
With Xbox Copilot, Microsoft wants to make that experience smoother by giving players quick help based on their game history and activity.
The Copilot for Gaming can recommend games you might like, list your Xbox achievements, and offer tips or guides for the game you're currently playing. It also lets users download or install games on their Xbox console directly from their phones.
The principal program manager at Xbox Taylor O’Malley said: “This early version is built for mobile, so you can use Copilot without interrupting your gameplay. It knows what you’re playing and gives answers based on your activity or play history.”
The Copilot also comes with a customisable voice, similar to Microsoft's other AI assistants. The chat interface looks much like the one found in Microsoft Copilot on Windows. It can even provide links for more help when needed.
