Microsoft has announced the beta testing of Gaming Copilot as a Game Bar component for Windows PCs. The new feature is available to Xbox Insider program members enrolled in PC Gaming Preview.

Developers note that games represent one of the few entertainment mediums where players can encounter significant challenges. The Gaming Copilot AI assistant aims to help players overcome obstacles, allowing them to focus more on gameplay itself.

Gaming Copilot functions as a personal companion that recognizes which game you're playing and understands your activity within the Xbox ecosystem. It can assist with difficult sections, provide tactical advice, and answer questions about your gaming account, match history, and achievements.

Gaming Copilot features in Game Bar:

• In-game voice mode. Open the Gaming Copilot widget, activate the microphone on the left navigation panel, pin the widget to your screen, and communicate with the assistant via voice during gameplay. You can resume conversation at any time.
  
• Screenshot analysis for precise responses. The AI assistant can now capture and analyze gameplay screenshots to provide more accurate and helpful responses. This eliminates the need for lengthy descriptions of in-game situations. Screenshot capture can be disabled in the Gaming Copilot widget settings.
