Very strange that they moved a bunch of AI executives into XBOX division, only to remove AI features, but you won't hear complaints from me.
it seems clear that the demand for it on Xbox Series X|S and other hardware just wasn’t there for gamers.
Its clearly not in demand anywhere but here we are.
Seems like the financial people at Microsoft are tired of taking "but it's the future!" As an end all be all answer.
Between this and copilot switching to token based billing, they're the first company to seem to really be looking at how bad the financials are
There's got to be a solid amount of internal belief that copilot doesn't have a future. They have no popular phone - no idea why they didn't continue making Android phones. That Android game store they announced still hasn't happened. No popular TV presence besides a limping along Xbox series console. People on windows aren't using copilot. Even Amazon has a better shot because of their echo and fire devices. Companies developing internal AI tools, don't know why they wouldn't base off a regularly updated stable of local AI models as they come out like Deepseek, Qwen, Kimi, whatever
Absolutely because it got roasted on April fools as the stupidest executive level idea in all of gaming.
Hey play this game I paid 60 bucks for for me
Why play videogames when I can have Ai so it for me.
Okay wait, they might actually be finally cooking. Will have to wait and see if they actually mean it.
Maybe they can move some resources to the remote play app now so they can begin the impossible task of turning off auto rotate.
They'll shovel it somewhere else for sure.
I may be high on hopium but is XBOX doing a comeback in terms of user friendliness and popularity?
