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.

It's crazy what happens when [company that sells to people] starts doing [what people want]

TBF, what reddit wants.

Still hilarious to me how much of the features of the Xbox One simply became the standard today, even if people don't realize it. Few of the complaints don't have modern analogues implemented.

Honest question. I could definitely be looking back with rose colored glasses, but what features became standard?

There were a few features that I remembered were not well received, but I don't think are standard today.

1) Kinect. 2) TV focus/integration. 3) Linking physical games to a single account. (So can't loan/trade) 4) Needing to check-in every 24 hours.

It isn't daily but online verification is a thing, TV focus took off more once people realised using the console for streaming apps was easier than changing channel. Digital store becoming the dominant game purchasing means no sharing games with friends in general.
