Microsoft will begin testing its Copilot for Gaming app in a beta version
that launches on mobile devices today. The intelligent gaming assistant was
announced earlier this year and promised to help make players faster and
sharpen their skills. The app that was launched today allows players to ask
the gaming assistant questions about in-game strategy and controls using
voice or text. Users can also ask for game recommendations and specific
questions about their Xbox accounts and subscriptions.

AI-assisted gaming has been a hot topic as companies like Microsoft and Razer
have entered the space. These tools could replace strategy guides as they
help walk you through a particularly tough spot in a campaign or advise you
on tactics during a raid in an MMORPG.

The appΓÇÖs launch on mobile is designed to serve as a second screen while
playing your game on Xbox. Taylor OΓÇÖMalley, principal program manager at
Xbox, said, ΓÇ£The companion knows what game youΓÇÖre playing and understands
your Xbox activity, so it can answer any questions about the games youΓÇÖre
interested in, provide links to more information when its response includes
web sources or answer questions based on your account, play history and
achievements.ΓÇ¥

The early preview version of Copilot for Gaming will be initially available
through the beta version of the Xbox app in over 50 regions. Android and iOS
users who already have Xbox beta downloaded will be able to give feedback on
Copilot for Gaming by grading responses and marking incorrect ones.

Android users who donΓÇÖt already have the Xbox beta app downloaded can do so
through the Google Play Store. iOS users can no longer download the Xbox beta
app if they donΓÇÖt already have it. Microsoft says that the Copilot for
Gaming beta will also be coming soon to Game Bar on Windows PCs, with wider
availability planned for the full Xbox app in the future.
