On May 28, 2025, Microsoft launched public testing of its Copilot for Gaming AI chatbot, designed to enhance the Xbox gaming experience. Available in the beta version of the Xbox app for iOS and Android, this Xbox AI chatbot offers gamers personalised tips, game recommendations, and account insights, as announced in a Microsoft Xbox newsroom post.
The Copilot for Gaming is a second-screen feature that doesn’t interrupt gameplay. To provide tailored responses, it accesses users’ Xbox activity play history, achievements, and account data. For example, gamers can ask how to craft a sword in Minecraft or defeat a boss in Hogwarts Legacy. The chatbot also pulls web-based information to answer queries comprehensively.
