GoKawiilXbox is getting ready to launch its Gaming Copilot AI assistant on “current-generation consoles” this year, according to a report from GamesRadar . 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.
