Microsoft is starting to roll out an early version of its Copilot for Gaming experience on iOS and Android. Testers can now access Copilot within the Xbox mobile app, allowing the assistant to work as a companion for downloading games, listing achievements, and much more.
This first version allows you to quickly see recent Xbox achievements, get game recommendations based on your play history, and ask for tips or guides about completing games. You’ll also be able to use this Xbox Copilot to download and install games on your console in future versions, too.
The Copilot for Gaming, as it’s officially called, even has a customizable voice that’s similar to the ones found in Microsoft’s main Copilot. The chatbot interface is also similar across the two variants.

“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,” explains Taylor O’Malley, principal program manager at Xbox. “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.”
Microsoft also has a vision of turning this Copilot into an AI gaming coach, to guide you through games on an Xbox console in the future. The Xbox maker demonstrated earlier this year how a future Copilot for Gaming interface could assist you playing Overwatch 2 by pointing out mistakes you made during the game or recommending good hero picks to complement the rest of the team. Microsoft also demonstrated Copilot within Minecraft, where you could ask it questions about how to craft objects. A similar feature is also available in Copilot Vision on Windows.
You can start testing Copilot for Gaming in the beta version of the Xbox mobile app in the US, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and Singapore. Microsoft has a full list of countries that can access the beta, but it looks like the UK and most of Europe won’t be able to access it just yet.
Update, May 28th: Article updated to note that download and install game functionality is coming at a later date.
