Microsoft’s AI-powered Gaming Copilot assistant is coming to current-generation Xbox consoles later this year, the company announced at the Game Developers Conference.
The announcement was made at a GDC talk featuring Xbox’s gaming AI partner group product manager Sonali Yadav and gaming AI general manager Haiyan Zhang. Gaming Copilot is already available in a beta form for the Xbox PC and mobile apps, as well as ROG Xbox Ally devices. Per GamesRadar, Yadav stated that Microsoft will “continue to bring it to more services that players are playing.”
Players can ask the Gaming Copilot chatbot for advice and guidance via text or voice about the game they’re currently playing, or ask for game recommendations from the store or Game Pass. The AI assistant reads and connects to Xbox profiles, so players can also ask specific questions about their play history, achievements, or subscriptions.
This sounds like an exciting development for Xbox gamers! The addition of an AI assistant could really enhance the gaming experience. Looking forward to seeing how it performs in action!
