Microsoft Starts Beta Rollout of Gaming Copilot on Windows Game Bar, Mobile App Coming in October

The beta focuses on real-time, voice‑driven help that reads your screen plus play history, with console and handheld support still in development.

Overview

  • The AI assistant begins a gradual release to Windows PCs via the Game Bar for players 18 and older with availability in all regions except mainland China.
  • The Xbox mobile app version arrives next month on iOS and Android for second‑screen access that avoids interrupting gameplay.
  • Players can speak to Copilot using Voice Mode with Push to Talk or keep a pinned Mini Mode widget for longer conversations during play.
  • Copilot uses game screenshots and Xbox account data to give context‑aware tips, personalized recommendations, and help with achievements and play history.
  • Microsoft says console and handheld versions will follow after optimization, and it is collecting in‑app feedback such as thumbs up or down to improve the experience.
