"It's sort of like an AI version of those old Nintendo help phone lines. The chat box appears as an overlay on the screen and players can use it to ask questions or to get tips about a game. The company says it "knows what you're playing and understands your Xbox activity," as it uses in-game screenshots. It can also answer questions about an Xbox account and offer recommendations on stuff to buy."
"The official version also offers voice chat, so you can just ask the questions out loud. On PC, there's a "Push to Talk" hotkey that activates the bot, which is handy. The app includes a microphone button. There's a widget for the PC build that can be placed anywhere on the screen. This is useful for longer conversations. Microsoft is still tinkering with this software and urges feedback from users as they "continue to develop Gaming Copilopt and make it even more helpful for players' needs and preferences.""
Microsoft's Gaming Copilot AI assistant is rolling out to Windows PCs and the Xbox mobile app, with broader availability after testing with Xbox Insiders. The tool will be available to players aged 18 and older on the PC Game Bar, and the Xbox app release arrives in October for Android and iOS. Availability will cover the globe except mainland China. The AI overlays a chat box on the screen, uses in-game screenshots, understands Xbox activity, and provides tips, account information, and purchase recommendations. The official release supports voice chat, a PC Push-to-Talk hotkey, a microphone button in the app, and a movable PC widget. Portable Windows consoles and the upcoming Xbox Ally handheld are expected to receive the software later.
