Microsoft gives up on Xbox Copilot AI

微软放弃 Xbox Copilot AI

Xbox is “winding down Copilot on mobile” and “will stop development of Copilot on console,” new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma announced on Tuesday. The move follows Sharma’s reorganization of the Xbox platform team earlier on Tuesday, which added executives from Microsoft’s CoreAI team — where Sharma worked before taking over Xbox — to the Xbox side of the company. Xbox 新任首席执行官 Asha Sharma 周二宣布，Xbox 将“逐步淘汰移动端 Copilot”，并“停止主机端 Copilot 的开发”。此举发生在该公司周二早些时候对 Xbox 平台团队进行重组之后，重组引入了来自微软 CoreAI 团队的高管——Sharma 在接管 Xbox 之前曾在此工作。

Sharma, 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. Sharma 在 X 上表示： Xbox 需要加快步伐，加深我们与社区的联系，并解决玩家和开发者面临的阻碍。 今天，我们提拔了曾助力打造 Xbox 的领导者，同时也引入了新的声音来推动我们前进。在我们让业务重回正轨的过程中，这种平衡至关重要。 作为这一转变的一部分，你们将看到我们开始淘汰那些与我们未来发展方向不符的功能。我们将开始逐步淘汰移动端 Copilot，并停止主机端 Copilot 的开发。

Sharma took over from former Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer in February and has already made some big changes, including scrapping the Microsoft Gaming brand and cutting the price of Xbox Game Pass. Sharma 于今年 2 月接替了前微软游戏业务首席执行官 Phil Spencer，并已经做出了一些重大调整，包括废除“微软游戏”（Microsoft Gaming）品牌以及下调 Xbox Game Pass 的价格。

Microsoft made a big deal about Copilot for Gaming last year, and said in March that the gaming-focused Copilot would be coming to current generation consoles sometime this year. Now, though, that won’t be happening. 微软去年曾大力宣传“游戏版 Copilot”（Copilot for Gaming），并曾在 3 月份表示，这款专注于游戏的 Copilot 将于今年晚些时候登陆当前一代主机。然而现在，这一计划将不会实现。
