One particularly exciting area which Kardar demonstrated on the podcast is a future feature of Copilot for Gaming: in-game assistance. In example scenarios, players were presented using natural language, where Copilot was able to provide situation-specific advice to assist players in overcoming challenges and improving their gameplay.
“It’s not just about AI showing up to help you, it’s about AI showing up at the right moment,” Kardar elaborated. “We really have to think about the experience we’ve built, it cannot be intrusive.”
That’s why engaging with features like this will be in the control of the player, when – and if – they choose. Player feedback is crucial in this journey; through the Xbox Insider Program, players will soon be able to try it and provide feedback to help shape the product direction—beginning first on mobile and gradually expanding across devices. This collaborative approach ensures that the AI solutions developed are truly aligned with player needs and preferences and don’t disrupt your flow.

Also on this episode of the Official Xbox Podcast, Jason Ronald shared that over 1,000 titles are now supporting Xbox Play Anywhere. When players purchase an Xbox Play Anywhere game, you can enjoy it on Xbox and Windows 10/11 PCs at no additional cost, bringing your saves, progress, achievements, with you across devices. This flexibility holds obvious value for players, but Ronald also shared some player metrics showing Xbox Play Anywhere’s value for developers as well.
