Microsoft Rolls Out Gaming Copilot Beta to Windows 11 via Game Bar

The beta embeds a voice-enabled assistant in the Windows Game Bar to deliver real-time, context-aware help during play.

Overview

  • The feature is rolling out gradually over the next few weeks to Windows 11 users aged 18 and older in all supported regions except mainland China.
  • Mobile access through the Xbox app on iOS and Android is scheduled for October, offering a second-screen companion during gameplay.
  • Key tools include Voice Mode with Push-to-Talk and a pin-able Mini Mode, on-screen understanding via screenshots, and personalized recommendations tied to achievements and play history.
  • Microsoft says it is optimizing the experience for Windows-based handhelds such as the ROG Xbox Ally and plans to bring it to Xbox consoles in the near future.
  • Gaming Copilot appears as a widget inside the Game Bar; users must have the Xbox PC app installed, sign in with an Xbox account, and can launch it with Win+G.
