Microsoft tests Copilot for Gaming on Xbox app for iOS and Android: Here’s what gamers will get

Microsoft has started testing a new feature called Copilot for Gaming in the beta version of the Xbox mobile app. This assistant is designed to help gamers with tips, game info and more—without interrupting the main gaming experience. Microsoft describes Copilot for Gaming as the “ultimate gaming sidekick.”

“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 tech giant explained in a blogpost. Copilot for Gaming understands what game you’re currently playing and can answer questions, offer tips, or even recommend what to play next.

You can chat with Copilot by typing or using voice commands. For example, you can ask:

• “Hey Copilot, can you remind me what materials I need to craft a sword in Minecraft?
• [While playing South of Midnight] “I’m stuck on Rougarou right now. Can you give me some tips on how to beat this boss?”
• “What’s my gamerscore and can you give me some tips to raise it?

Besides gameplay help, Copilot can also tell you about your Xbox account—like when your Game Pass subscription renews or what your last unlocked achievement was.

If you’re unsure what to play, Copilot can suggest games based on your past gameplay or favourite genres. For example:

• “I love horror movies. Any suggestions for what game I should play?”
• “I’m looking for a new RPG. Can you recommend something that came out on Xbox recently?

Right now, Copilot for Gaming (Beta) is only available in select regions, including in India. It is only in English for users aged 18 and older. Microsoft says it will expand to more regions in the future.
