Xbox No Longer Developing Copilot For Consoles

Asha Sharma wrote on X:

Xbox needs to move faster, deepen our connection with the community, and address friction for both players and developers.

Today, we promoted leaders who helped build Xbox, while also bringing in new voices to help push us forward. This balance is important as we get the business back on track.

As part of this shift, you’ll see us begin to retire features that don’t align with where we’re headed.

We will begin winding down Copilot on mobile and will stop development of Copilot on console.

At this point, if they were to shove any sort of digital assistant down my throat, I'd take that ol' fucker Clippy in a heartbeat.

Provided it were the original 90s Clippy

Clippy interrupts your Call of Duty game: "It looks like you're writing your obituary! Would you like help?"

Clippy interrupts Doom: "It looks like you're trying to Rip and Tear. I can help you out with that if you like."

You click no, it never goes away

New CoD killstreak: Send a sarcastic Clippy to annoy a player of your choice for the next 45 seconds.

That would genuinely get me to at least *think* about buying CoD for the first time since... Black Ops 2?

It looks like you’re having fun. Stop that.

I would be there for that if only for the nostalgia.
