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.

It was supposed to be Copilot, with access to your Xbox account. So you could ask it things like "what achievements do I have in [game]?" It would also know what game you were playing, and answer questions like, "I'm stuck on [puzzle], give me a hint," etc.
The "on mobile" part was that it would be integrated into the Xbox mobile app.
(I say "supposed to be" because it was just a beta, and hadn't even made it to consoles yet – just PC and mobile.)

One turn away from 'Hey Copilot can you play my game for me'.

It doesn't sound too different than things like the Nintendo Power Hotline.

Where the other player asked the same thing so Copilot has to play against itself...

Well, one person moved and then brought a bunch of people with them.

Sounds promising! Hope she can turn things around.
