While Microsoft has integrated Copilot widely into Windows and Office, Xbox has remained cautious due to gamers' mixed views on AI features. In addition to the chatbot, Microsoft is updating the Xbox dashboard with an AI-powered natural language search. This feature, already starting to roll out, allows users to search for “puzzle games for kids” or handle misspellings, making game discovery easier without exact titles. Expect it to be available more widely in the coming weeks.
