Xbox ends Copilot on consoles, winds down mobile version

techMay 6, 2026242,557

Xbox CEO Asha Sharma said the Gaming Copilot "doesn’t align with where we're headed" and has scrapped Copilot development on consoles while winding down the mobile Copilot. The company is reallocating resources away from Copilot toward other AI projects inside Xbox. Sharma has installed former Microsoft AI leaders into senior Xbox roles to lead those initiatives. For players and developers, this ends plans to expand Copilot on consoles and signals Xbox will prioritize different AI tools and integrations instead.

Good. Forced “AI” integration sucks so much.

They were putting Copilot on console? I would rather have my kettle write me a haiku when I'm having sencha

Seems to me between the Game Pass pricing pivot and now Copilot, Asha actually took time to listen to feedback and is making smart changes. Keep it up.

Honestly this is the opposite of what I was expecting when she took the position, given what her role in Microsoft was before. Good news.

So far, she's doing a good job

I pray for the downfall of Copilot and everything else like it

Ok Xbox...I still haven't decided to give you money again, BUT you at least have my attention for now. Next tell me you're expanding backward compatibility again and we'll talk.

Good change and I'm all for it - but I'm baffled by the constant back and forth. Wasnt long ago (month?) when they were like "copilot for xbox coming!!1". But.. I shouldnt complain in this case since wins a win. Just hoping next week its not different again 🙃

Now tell the people in the Windows buildings across campus to do the same... 🙄

My biggest issue with AI is no choice. If it has to be forced on everything then that tells me I don't want it. This is a good move. Honestly confused because MS doesn't do that often anymore.

They're nice promises, but it Xbox taught me one thing, it's not to celebrate until I see some actual change.

Okay, now THIS is actually a big change I can appreciate. Thanks for not wasting money.
