Microsoft’s Gaming Copilot AI Now Can Help You Beat That Tough Boss on PC

Gaming Copilot won’t play the game for you but it will give you advice.

Microsoft’s Gaming Copilot, a beta AI assistant meant to help gamers, is out now on PC and will come to the Xbox mobile app next month, the company said in a blog post on Monday. Microsoft says Gaming Copilot will launch on PC gaming handhelds, like the ROG Xbox Ally and Xbox consoles in the near future.

Gaming Copilot is still in beta and is available to users 18 and older and in all regions except China. Players can ask Copilot questions using the AI assistant’s voice mode for recommendations, help and other insights.

PC players will now see Gaming Copilot in the Game Bar, an on-screen overlay that you can call up during a gaming session. Gaming Copilot launches next month on the Xbox app for iOS and Android.

With voice mode, you can have a conversation with Copilot about your gaming, asking for tips and guidance on quests or boss battles. There’s a push-to-talk feature that lets you assign a key to quickly bring up Gaming Copilot. It’ll also be possible to pin a Gaming Copilot widget on-screen, which Microsoft calls Mini Mode, to interact with the AI assistant.

«When you ask Copilot a question, it combines this understanding with your player activity on Xbox and public sources of information from the Bing search engine for its response,» a Microsoft spokesperson said in a statement. «We are also working on a way for creators to contribute and curate the information that Gaming Copilot shares for their games.»

It’s uncertain if Gaming Copilot is pulling information from game guides found online, on sites such as CNET’s sister site IGN, Polygon or The Gamer. Writing game guides is often time-consuming and labor-intensive. These sites gain a substantial amount of traffic through guides, however, often via search engines. AI giving users answers directly could eat away at this significant traffic driver.

With Microsoft investing heavily in AI, throwing $13 billion into ChatGPT-maker OpenAI, the company is finding ways to put the technology in everything from Windows to Notepad. AI is also helping Microsoft’s Google Search competitor, Bing.

Microsoft’s continued AI investments, along with its strong cloud support and dominance in enterprise, led Wall Street to shower the company with support. AI hype, along with other factors, helped propel Microsoft to a $3 trillion valuation last year.

(Disclosure: Ziff Davis, CNET’s parent company, in April filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging it infringed Ziff Davis copyrights in training and operating its AI systems.)

Microsoft Research also showed off a new AI model, Muse, that could generate gameplay visuals, mainly for video game ideation.
