Microsoft has officially begun rolling out Copilot for Gaming (Beta), a new AI-powered gaming sidekick designed to enhance the Xbox gaming experience. Now available in the beta version of the Xbox app for mobile devices on both iOS and Android, Copilot for Gaming offers players personalized assistance, real-time tips, and activity insights—all without interrupting their core gameplay.

Early Access and Beta Testing

Starting today, players who have the beta version of the Xbox app for mobile can access Copilot for Gaming. Android users can download the beta app from the Google Play Store, while iOS users will soon gain access through the Game Bar on Windows PC and, eventually, wider availability in the Xbox app. Microsoft is actively encouraging early testers to provide feedback directly within the app to help shape and refine the Copilot experience.

Features of Copilot for Gaming

Copilot for Gaming acts as a smart, second-screen companion that recognizes the game you’re playing and your Xbox activity. It can answer detailed questions about any game, provide tips when you get stuck, and offer tailored recommendations for what to play next based on your gaming history and preferences.

Players can interact with Copilot via text or voice commands, asking questions such as:

• "What materials do I need to craft a sword in Minecraft?"
• "I’m stuck on Rougarou in South of Midnight. Can you give me tips to beat this boss?"
• "What’s my gamerscore and how can I improve it?"

Beyond in-game support, Copilot can recommend new games based on your favorite genres or recent releases and answer queries about Xbox achievements, subscriptions, and play history. The companion is designed to be helpful when you need it and unobtrusive when you don’t.

How Copilot Works

Copilot sources information from your Xbox player activity, combining it with public data from the Bing search engine to deliver accurate, context-aware responses. Microsoft has plans to enhance Copilot with deeper personalization, proactive coaching, and additional features in future updates.

Availability and Supported Regions

The beta is currently available in English for players aged 18 and older in the U.S., Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Singapore, and several other regions, with plans to expand to more markets over time. Players can check the full list of supported regions within the app or on the official Xbox website.

Providing Feedback

Players can submit feedback on Copilot for Gaming (Beta) directly within the Xbox app by selecting "Give Feedback" under "More Options" or by rating Copilot’s responses with a thumbs up or down in the chat interface. This feedback will be critical in shaping future updates and ensuring the tool meets player needs and expectations.

Looking Ahead

Microsoft is committed to evolving Copilot for Gaming by releasing new features early and often, ensuring the tool remains aligned with the community’s needs. As Copilot for Gaming becomes more widely available, players can look forward to even richer game assistance, deeper personalization, and a more seamless gaming experience on Xbox and beyond.
