Xbox is “ending Copilot for mobile” and “discontinuing development of Copilot for consoles,” Xbox’s new CEO Asha Sharma announced on Tuesday. The move follows Sharma’s reorganization of the Xbox platform team earlier Tuesday, with executives from Microsoft’s CoreAI team, where he worked before taking over Xbox, joining the Xbox side of the company. Regarding Sharma, X: > Xbox needs to move faster, connect more with the community, and address friction for both players and developers. > Today, we’re promoting leaders who helped build Xbox and bringing in new voices to help us move forward. This balance is key to getting your business back on track. > As part of this transition, you’ll see us start deprecating features that don’t align with where we’re headed. Start finishing Copilot on mobile and stop developing Copilot on console. Sharma took over from former Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer in February and has already made some big changes, including discontinuing the Microsoft Gaming brand and lowering the price of Xbox Game Pass. Microsoft made a lot of noise last year about Copilot for Gaming, announcing in March that gaming-focused Copilot would be coming to current-gen consoles later this year. But that won’t happen now.
