Microsoft has recently unveiled Copilot for Gaming, an AI-powered assistant designed to enhance the gaming experience for Xbox users. This innovative tool aims to streamline game setup, provide in-game assistance, and offer personalized recommendations based on player preferences.
Initially, Copilot for Gaming is being rolled out in beta on mobile platforms, with South Africa among the first countries to gain access, alongside Albania, Brazil, Chile, and others. Android users can download the Xbox beta app from the Google Play Store to experience this new feature. iOS users will need to wait until Microsoft expands availability to the Xbox app on their platform.
The assistant is designed to understand natural language commands, allowing players to perform tasks such as installing games, checking for updates, and receiving tutorials. For example, a player can ask, "I want to get back into Age of Empires, can you install it?" and Copilot will initiate the download process. Additionally, it can provide recaps of game progress and offer contextual assistance during gameplay. (gadgets360.com)
Microsoft emphasizes that Copilot for Gaming is intended to be a non-intrusive, optional feature that enhances the gaming experience without disrupting it. The company plans to gather user feedback during the beta phase to refine the assistant before a broader release across the Xbox ecosystem. (windowscentral.com)
