Xbox’s September Update Expands AI Assistant Gaming Copilot

by

The September update for Xbox is now available, and it includes several improvements designed to make gaming on both console and PC easier and more enjoyable. The goal is to let you play more games with less frustration and without unnecessary complications.

I was so excited to read the latest Xbox Wire post! Microsoft just dropped a bunch of new features – some of which we’ve been testing out in beta – for both consoles and PC. Honestly, there’s a ton of stuff here, and I can’t wait to try it all out! It’s really great to see them adding so much.

The beta version of Gaming Copilot, an AI-powered assistant for gaming, is becoming more widely available – it’s expanding to the Game Bar on Windows PCs and will be available in the Xbox mobile app next month. The Xbox PC app has also been redesigned to make it simpler to find your applications, games, and past activity with a few streamlined menus. Plus, PC gamers will receive three key improvements: a more visually appealing experience for Social widgets, a Network Quality Indicator to help diagnose and fix connection problems, and a feature that makes it easier to synchronize game saves across all your devices.

So, Xbox just dropped a pretty cool update this month – it’s called Offer Wallet. Basically, it’s a single place to find and use all your Xbox deals, which is way easier than how it used to be. And get this – they’ve also added a new dynamic background for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7! It’s timed perfectly because the multiplayer beta kicks off on October 2nd. I’m definitely checking that beta out!

Gaming Copilot is a new and somewhat debated feature for Xbox. First shown off earlier in the year, it’s meant to offer assistance, suggestions, and support while you play. It functions like an overlay similar to Steam, placing the AI assistant directly on your screen. There’s also a connected AI chatbot that can access your Xbox profile, allowing you to get help with things like difficult enemy battles, your Gamer Score, hard-to-get Achievements, and other questions.

Here’s some more news from Microsoft: on September 19th, the company stated that Xbox consoles will become more expensive in the US starting October 3rd. The most affordable Xbox, the 512GB Xbox Series S, will now cost $400.
