Microsoft Proposes Xbox AI Game Takeover

Microsoft filed a 2024 patent application describing an AI Xbox assistant that can temporarily take over a player's session to overcome in-game difficulties, Tech4Games reported. The filing outlines cloud-based help sessions—text, chat, video—and a generative model that may recognize images and produce multimodal outputs; players can accept or reject updated game states. It also proposes helper ratings and human-or-AI helpers.
