Xbox New Xbox CEO Asha Sharma has confirmed that Microsoft has stopped development of Copilot on console and to begin “winding down” use of the AI service for mobile gaming. Sharma took to X to reveal that Microsoft will retire features “that don’t align with where we’re headed.” Gaming Copilot, which was still in the beta phase, was created to be “your personal gaming sidekick with Xbox,” which players could use for assistance any time or place while playing a game and provide gaming recommendations. “Xbox needs to move faster, deepen our connection with the community, and address friction for both players and developers,” Sharma said in her post. “Today, we promoted leaders who helped build Xbox, while also bringing in new voices to help push us forward. This balance is important as we get the business back on track. As part of this shift, you’ll see us begin to retire features that don’t align with where we’re headed. We will begin winding down Copilot on mobile and will stop development of Copilot on console.”
