Microsoft has kicked off a new feature called Copilot for Gaming in the Xbox mobile app for iOS and Android. The beta launched on May 28, 2025, and it’s designed to make gaming easier and more fun for Xbox players. Here’s a clear and simple look at what it offers.
What Is Copilot for Gaming?
Copilot for Gaming is like a smart gaming assistant in the Xbox mobile app. It works alongside your Xbox console, letting you ask for help with your voice or by typing. It uses your Xbox account to give personalized tips and answers tailored to the games you play.
What Does It Do?
This beta version includes:
- Game Help: Ask for tips, like “How do I defeat this boss?” or “What’s the best weapon to craft in Fallout 4?”
- Game Suggestions: Get recommendations for new games based on what you enjoy playing.
- Account Details: Check your Xbox achievements, Gamerscore, or Game Pass status easily.
- Custom Tips: It looks at your gaming history to offer advice that fits your style.
For example, you can ask for help with a tricky puzzle or level without stopping your game to search online.
How to Use It
- Who Can Try It: The beta is available for players 18+ in over 50 countries, like the US, UK, Japan, and India. It’s in English only for now.
- How to Get It: Download the beta version of the Xbox app from the Google Play Store (Android) or look for it on iOS if you’re an Xbox Insider. Microsoft will roll it out to more users soon.
- What’s Next: Copilot will come to the Game Bar on Windows PCs and later to the full Xbox app.
Copilot for Gaming is a handy tool that saves time by giving you quick answers while you play. It’s like having a friend who knows all the tricks for your favorite games. Microsoft is asking for player feedback to improve it, with plans to add features like live tips for multiplayer matches.
