Gaming Open Gaming Copilot on Game Bar in Windows 11

This tutorial will show you how to open the Gaming Copilot widget on Game Bar for your account in Windows 11.

You can open the Game Bar to take control of all your favorite gaming activities while playing on your Windows 11 device.

Gaming Copilot (Beta), the ultimate gaming sidekick, is available on Game Bar for Windows PC for Xbox Insiders enrolled in the PC Gaming Preview. Gaming is one of the only forms of entertainment where you can get stuck, and Gaming Copilot is designed to help get you past those obstacles so you can spend more time playing the games you love. This companion makes gaming with Xbox more seamless and personalized, helping you get to gameplay faster, sharpening your skills, and being there when you need it and out of the way when you don’t.

Gaming Copilot knows what you’re playing and understands your Xbox activity to provide an experience centered around you. In addition to asking for help related to the game you’re playing while you’re playing it, the games you’re interested in or want to discover, or questions about your account, play history, and achievements.

This early preview of Gaming Copilot on Game Bar is available in English for Xbox Insiders aged 18 and older in the U.S., Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Singapore, and other regions.
