Microsoft announced on Wednesday that it has started rolling out the beta version of its Copilot for Gaming experience. Beta testers can access the experience in the Xbox app on iOS and Android.
The early version of the experience allows the assistant to answer questions about the games you’re interested in, give you links to more information, and answer questions based on your account, play history, achievements, and more.
For example, you could ask something like: “What’s my gamerscore and can you give me some tips to raise it?” or “I love horror movies. Any suggestions for what game I should play?” As for questions about your play history or account, you could ask something like: “What was the last achievement I got in Starfield?” or “When does my Game Pass subscription renew?”
“In this early version of the feature for mobile, you’ll be able to access Copilot for Gaming on a second screen, without distracting you from your core gameplay experience,” Taylor O’Malley, principal program manager at Xbox, explained in a blog post.

Copilot for Gaming is the ultimate gaming sidekick, making gaming with Xbox more seamless and personalized.
In this early version of the feature for mobile, you’ll be able to access Copilot for Gaming on a second screen, without distracting you from your core gameplay experience. The companion knows what game you’re playing and understands your Xbox activity, so it can answer any questions about the games you’re interested in, provide links to more information when its response includes web sources, or answer questions based on your account, play history and achievements.
Once you ask Copilot a question, it looks at your player activity on Xbox, alongside public information from Bing, to formulate a response. Microsoft says it’s working to add more personalization and richer game assistance, such as proactive coaching, to Copilot for Gaming in the future.
