Microsoft's Copilot for Gaming arrives in beta - how to try it on your phone

Have you ever been playing a video game and found yourself helplessly stuck, racking your brain trying to remember a certain move and wishing some kind of oracle would appear to show you the way? Wish no more -- AI is here to help. This week, Microsoft rolled out a beta version of Copilot for Gaming, an AI chatbot the company describes as "the ultimate gaming sidekick." Also: Copilot's Coding Agent brings automation deeper into GitHub workflows While it's still being developed, this early version allows gamers to ask a wide range of questions via text or voice prompts about a particular game or their overall performance, and the system will provide helpful tips and feedback. Think of Copilot for Gaming as a blend between a virtual strategist and a tutor: it's there to help you get past snags you might hit in the course of playing a particular game, and to step up your skill set as a whole over time.
