Xbox says Copilot on consoles provides "coaching," but it actually talks to you like a baby with a controller: "It's a bit of a grind, but hey, you're already on Torment 4"

Diablo 4's Nyrelle looks at a crystal in Vessel of Hatred's trailer.

Microsoft's Copilot AI assistant is arriving on "current-generation consoles" later this year, as Xbox announced during a Game Developers Conference 2026 panel attended by GamesRadar+, but a coinciding tech demo suggests the bot isn't ready for the responsibility.

Gaming AI at Xbox's partner group product manager Sonali Yadav shared at the Responsible Innovation for Gameplay Experiences lecture that Copilot should be able to help players seeking "coaching to improve a skill that matters to them," and to make sure "more players start to reach that threshold of feeling successful." It at least attempts to do that in example clips featuring Forza Horizon 5, Sea of Thieves, and Diablo 4 by also trying to change your diaper.
