Microsoft Copilot Will No Longer Come To Consoles, Says Xbox CEO

Copilot, Microsoft’s AI-powered assistant, has been a controversial feature for some, but it looks like it won’t be introduced to Xbox consoles anymore. Microsoft Gaming CEO Asha Sharma confirmed this pivot on X today, citing a need to “move faster, deepen our connection with the community, and address friction for both players and developers.”

In her post, Sharma states Copilot is also being dropped from mobile while announcing a leadership shake-up. “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,” writes Sharma. “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.”
