Xbox CEO ends Copilot AI development and overhauls leadership

Sounds promising! Hope she can turn things around.

What is/was Copilot on mobile and on XBox? I can’t keep track of all the different things Microsoft now calls “Copilot.” It’s interesting that so many execs with a GenAI background are joining a gaming console division, and seemingly moving away from GenAI. Gamers are pretty hostile to GenAI, too. Edit: As nhinck2 says below, all the new execs came with the new CEO from her CoreAI division. So maybe not so interesting after all.

I think this is pure economics. Don't add features people don't want to pay for, or you lower profits.

Too late, no games, terrible service, Xbox has ignored its userbase since XSX release and with Steam getting stronger by the day, it is a little too late. I only turn my XSX on for a few minutes so the SSD won't loose its data, to update and turn it off. I got the new Steam controller instead of using my Xbox Elite 2 controller on Steam. XSX was my last interaction with Xbox as a whole, there is no future, not while Microsoft owns it!! Look at what they did with the studios they bought, nothing!! Look at what they did with COD, destroyed what was already broken. Console is so dead that even Sony is making dumb changes pushing players to Steam.

Cause obviously what the gamers need right now is not games - but intrusive AI that adds no utility whatsoever. Why didn’t I think of that?

Ending console development? So what even is Xbox after that? An also-ran Steam clone? The point was buying physical hardware, I thought, that ran the games perfectly without f'ing around. Microsoft continues to prove they have no taste
