Sonali Yadav, Xbox’s product manager for gaming AI, revealed the news during a panel at the Game Developers Conference (GDC), adding that the company will also add the assistant to “more services that players are playing.”
Microsoft has been working on its gaming-focused Copilot assistant for months now, with the company launching it in beta on the Xbox mobile app, Windows 11 , and Xbox Ally handhelds . Players can use their voice to call upon the Gaming Copilot if they get stuck in a game, and the AI assistant is supposed to reply with suggestions about what to do next. It can also answer questions about a player’s gaming history, offer up tips or strategies, and provide game recommendations. In examples shared by Xbox , players can ask Gaming Copilot how to beat a particular boss or which materials they need to craft a sword in Minecraft .
