Current project status
* The beta version has already been available outside of Xbox since the fall of 2025, but it has yet to attract widespread attention.

* When released on consoles, the situation could change quickly – user interest and feedback will start to grow.

Microsoft thanks those who participated in the closed beta testing: “We learned a lot over the past year and are grateful for all the community feedback.”

Gaming‑Copilot features
* Tips on recent achievements.

* Game recommendations based on user history.

* Level‑completion advice.

* Account detail reminders.

The company recently patented technology that allows temporarily handing control of a game to an assistant (human or AI). This feature is likely being developed specifically for Gaming‑Copilot.
