Microsoft is integrating its AI Copilot into the Xbox experience, offering gaming advice, progress tracking, and more. Rolling out soon to Xbox Insiders via the mobile app, Copilot will initially allow users to install games, check play history, achievements, and library, and receive game recommendations. Direct voice interaction within the Xbox app will mirror Copilot's Windows functionality.
A key feature is Copilot's role as a gaming assistant, answering questions about gameplay, sourced from online guides and wikis. Microsoft is collaborating with game studios to ensure accuracy and proper attribution.
Future possibilities include walkthrough assistance, item tracking, real-time strategy suggestions for competitive games, and post-engagement analysis. While these are currently concepts, Microsoft aims for deep Copilot integration with Xbox gameplay, encompassing both first-party and third-party titles.
During the preview, Xbox Insiders can opt out of Copilot usage and data collection. However, future mandatory implementation remains a possibility. Microsoft will maintain transparency regarding data collection and user choices. Further details on developer usage will be presented at the Game Developers Conference.
