Copilot for Gaming beta comes to mobile devices today via the Xbox app

by

Today, the beta testing phase begins for Microsoft’s earlier-mentioned Copilot for Gaming, accessible through the Xbox app on mobile devices.

Through a post on Xbox Wire, it’s revealed that users with Android or iOS devices are able to download the beta version of the Xbox app and provide feedback about an innovative feature dubbed as the “gaming sidekick.” This sidekick is designed to offer assistance and answers questions related to games.

The article proposes using Copilot for Gaming by inquiring about various topics like discovering your latest earned achievement, learning when Xbox Game Pass will be due for renewal, or seeking advice on defeating a boss in South of Midnight.

In simpler terms, the Copilot for Gaming system monitors user actions and finds solutions, while also utilizing data from various public resources like Bing. The users can rate the solutions they receive by upvoting or downvoting them, and they can offer direct feedback about their personal experiences with these solutions.

I still don’t want to talk to my phone while I’m playing games

Previously, I expressed that this experience doesn’t appeal to me much. Regardless if I’m socializing with friends or enjoying solitary activities like playing a single-player game, I prefer not to interact with my phone during gaming sessions. Inquiring advice from my phone aloud will generally diminish its usefulness in most scenarios I can imagine.

Apart from this matter, there’s another concern about the potential influence on website traffic, including my daily team. Since our guides, tutorials, and other content are frequently used as references for Copilot for Gaming, what happens next to us in terms of originality and credit?

It’s clear that while this isn’t the sole or most severe issue, generative AI is indeed posing challenges within the gaming industry. For instance, talents such as Ashly Burch are grappling with the possibility of companies like PlayStation developing AI-driven character responses for figures like Aloy. Moreover, Haven Studios – a subsidiary of PlayStation – is delving into AI-generated games.

I’m eagerly waiting to see the responses from gamers as they get their first-hand experience with Copilot for Gaming.
