Microsoft has announced that its Gaming Copilot AI assistant, which has been available in beta on PC, mobile, and the ROG Xbox Ally since last year, will be coming to current-gen consoles in 2026.
"I'm excited to announce that later this year, we will bring Gaming Copilot to the current-generation consoles, and we will continue to bring it to more services that players are playing," Sonali Yadav, Xbox's gaming AI partner group product manager, revealed at a Game Developers Conference panel attended by GamesRadar+.
Presumably, "current-generation consoles" simply means Xbox Series X/S, though no specific platforms were called out in the announcement.

As it currently exists on other platforms, Gaming Copilot lets you ask guide-like questions about the game you're currently playing. Microsoft's official site offers an example question like "Can you remind me what materials I need to craft a sword in Minecraft?" You can also ask for game recommendations, or your own play history or account details – helpful, I suppose, if you've forgotten when your Game Pass subscription is set to renew.
Gaming Copilot has been in beta for some time on non-console platforms, without much wider buzz (positive or negative) in the gaming community, but that may change once the AI assistant reaches a wider audience on Xbox consoles.
Either way, Microsoft appreciates the data from those who've used the feature up to this point in beta. "We've learned a lot this past year, and appreciate all of the feedback that we've gotten from from the community," Yadav says.
