Summary
- Copilot for Gaming (Beta), the ultimate gaming sidekick, begins rolling out for early testing today in the beta version of the Xbox app for mobile on iOS and Android devices.
- In this early version, beta testers can ask Copilot about any games, including the game they’re currently playing, or ask for help if they get stuck. It can also answer questions about their Xbox activity, like play history and achievements, or even provide recommendations of what to play next.
- We’re sharing features like this early and often to ensure the products we develop are aligned with your needs and preferences. Players who already have the beta version of the Xbox app for mobile downloaded on their iOS or Android device can begin providing feedback on the new feature in-app today.

At Xbox, we want to help you spend more time playing the games you love, to be there when you need some help – and out of the way when you don’t. Copilot for Gaming (Beta) is designed to do just that, and starting today, you can begin testing this new feature as it starts rolling out to the beta version of the Xbox app for mobile devices.
Copilot for Gaming is the ultimate gaming sidekick, making gaming with Xbox more seamless and personalized. 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 companion knows what game you’re playing and understands your Xbox activity, so it can answer any questions about the games you’re interested in, provide links to more information when its response includes web sources, or answer questions based on your account, play history and achievements.

If you’re not sure where to begin, here are a few suggestions to get you started – and remember, you can type your prompts in chat or speak directly with Copilot using voice:
- Ask questions about a specific game or the game you’re currently playing, such as when you get stuck or need tips .
- “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?
- Ask for game recommendations. If you’re new to Xbox, tell Copilot about your favorite game or entertainment genres and let it recommend new games to play. If you’re a seasoned player, ask for recommendations on what game to play next based on your gaming history.
- “Hey Copilot, what should I play tonight?”
- “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?
- Ask about your play history or account, such as Xbox Achievements or subscriptions.
- “Hey Copilot, what’s the rarest achievement you can get in Avowed?”
- “What was the last achievement I got in Starfield?”
- “When does my Game Pass subscription renew?”
When you ask Copilot a question, it sources your player activity on Xbox alongside public sources of information from the Bing search engine for its response. We’re working hard to bring deeper personalization, richer game assistance such as proactive coaching, and many more features to Copilot for Gaming (Beta) at a later date.
