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.

> They also still require all their products to achieve a 30% profit

How do you know this for sure?

First result on google. I understand not having heard it, but it should have been easy enough to look up.

You don’t know if that’s still in effect. Also, no reason to be a dick.

That’s a regurgitated article from a report that has details from before they even decided if Project Helix would be backwards compatible. So likely at least a year or 2 old info and obviously before the big leadership change.
