Gamers Cheer as Microsoft Pulls Copilot AI Out of Xbox Entirely
Microsoft's Xbox CEO Asha Sharma announced that the company would 'begin winding down' its Copilot AI chatbot on mobile and 'development' on console, a decision met with a largely positive reaction from gamers. The move is seen as a response to the growing backlash against AI integration in gaming.
Microsoft's Xbox is scaling back its AI efforts. The company's CEO Asha Sharma announced on Tuesday that it would stop developing its Copilot AI chatbot for Xbox consoles and wind down the feature on mobile. Gamers reacted positively to the news, having grown wary of AI integration due to its impact on PC hardware affordability. The backlash against AI has been particularly strong among Xbox users, who criticized the company's decision to add AI features to its Windows operating system and Xbox platform. Sharma also announced that Microsoft would reduce recent price hikes for its Xbox Game Pass subscription service, another move seen as a response to user complaints. The decision to pause Copilot development is viewed as an effort to win back consumer goodwill, but Microsoft still has work to do to undo the damage from its AI-focused approach.
