Microsoft Starts Testing Copilot for Gaming in Xbox App for iOS and Android

Microsoft is beginning to integrate AI support into mobile gaming through its Xbox app, now in testing on iOS and Android.

Beta Rollout for Mobile Users

Microsoft has begun a beta rollout of Copilot for Gaming within the Xbox app on iOS and Android devices. Testers aged 18+ in select countries—including the US, Australia, Japan, and Singapore—can now try its early version.

Personalized Gaming Assistant

Copilot uses your Xbox account information—like recent achievements, play history, and Game Pass status—together with public data to generate personalized responses. You can ask questions such as:

• “What’s my gamer score and how can I raise it?”
  
• “What was my last Starfield achievement?”
  
• “I love horror—any game suggestions?”
  

Seamless Second‑Screen Experience

Designers built Copilot to work as a second-screen companion, avoiding disruptions to your main gameplay. You interact via voice or chat without leaving the app.

Future Plans: AI Coach, Game Installs

Though installation and downloads aren’t enabled yet, Microsoft plans to add these in future updates.

Beyond that, they envision Copilot evolving into a full-fledged AI gaming coach—offering real-time guidance by analyzing gameplay (e.g., Overwatch 2 counters, Minecraft crafting tips).

Community Feedback Driven

Currently available to Xbox Insiders and beta testers, Copilot’s development relies on user feedback collected in-app (thumbs up/down, feedback form).

Bottom Line

Microsoft’s Copilot for Gaming brings AI right into your gaming routine—helping with achievements, gameplay tips, and more—all without interrupting your flow. As it evolves through feedback and feature expansion, it could become a robust in-game coach.
