Microsoft is preparing to launch an AI-powered Copilot for Gaming soon that will guide Xbox players through games and act as an assistant to download and launch games. Copilot for Gaming, as Microsoft is branding it, will be available through the Xbox mobile app initially and is designed to work on a second screen as a companion or assistant.

During the Xbox Podcast, Fatima Kardar, Corporate Vice President of Gaming AI, unveiled Copilot for Gaming. It’s being billed as something that will “save you time, help you get good.” Copilot for Gaming is meant to act as a gamer’s sidekick.
