Microsoft is set to enhance the Xbox gaming experience with the introduction of its AI-powered Copilot, a feature that will soon be available for testing among Xbox Insiders via the Xbox mobile app. This innovative tool, which replaced Cortana in 2023 and is already integrated into Windows, aims to revolutionize how gamers interact with their consoles. At launch, Copilot for gaming will offer several key features, including the ability to install games remotely, provide insights into your play history, track achievements, manage your game library, and suggest new games to play. Additionally, you'll be able to engage with Copilot directly through the Xbox app during gameplay, receiving real-time assistance and answers in a manner similar to its current functionality on Windows.
One of the standout features highlighted by Microsoft is Copilot's role as a gaming assistant. Gamers can already seek advice on PC about overcoming challenges like defeating bosses or solving puzzles, with Copilot sourcing information from Bing, online guides, websites, wikis, and forums. This functionality will soon extend to the Xbox app, allowing for seamless integration into your gaming sessions. Microsoft is committed to ensuring the accuracy of the information provided by Copilot, collaborating with game studios to reflect their vision and directing players to the original sources of information.
Looking ahead, Microsoft has ambitious plans for Copilot's integration into video games. Future possibilities include using Copilot as a walkthrough assistant to explain game mechanics, track in-game items, and suggest new ones. In competitive gaming, Copilot could offer real-time strategy suggestions and tips to counter opponents' moves, as well as provide post-game analysis. While these are currently conceptual ideas, Microsoft is keen on deeply integrating Copilot into regular Xbox gameplay, working not only with first-party but also third-party studios.
Regarding user privacy and control, Xbox Insiders will have the option to opt out during the preview phase. However, Microsoft has indicated that Copilot might become mandatory in the future. A spokesperson emphasized transparency about data collection, usage, and user choices regarding personal data sharing during the testing phase.
Beyond player-focused applications, Microsoft is also exploring developer uses for Copilot, with more details to be shared at the upcoming Game Developers Conference.
