Xbox Winds Down Copilot AI on Mobile and Console

TL;DRAI · 60 sec read

New Xbox CEO Asha Sharma has decided to wind down the company's Copilot AI efforts in gaming. The company will begin winding down Copilot on mobile and will stop development of Copilot on console.

Sharma made the announcement on Tuesday following a reorganization of the Xbox platform team. The changes added executives from Microsoft’s CoreAI team to the Xbox organization. Sharma had worked in the CoreAI team prior to taking over Xbox.

In a post on X, Sharma explained the rationale behind the decisions. She wrote that Xbox needs to move faster, deepen its connection with the community, and address friction for both players and developers. Today, leaders who helped build Xbox were promoted while new voices were brought in to help push the company forward. This balance is important as the business gets back on track.

As part of this shift, features that do not align with the direction will be retired. Specifically, Copilot on mobile will be wound down and development of Copilot on console will stop.

Sharma took over from former Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer in February. Since assuming the role, she has scrapped the Microsoft Gaming brand and cut the price of Xbox Game Pass.

Microsoft made a big deal about Copilot for Gaming last year. The company said in March that the gaming-focused Copilot would be coming to current generation consoles sometime this year. Now, however, that will not be happening.
