First Look At Xbox’s Gaming Copilot Leaves A Bad Impression

Game News - Sat, 03/21/2026 - 00:18

Footage has emerged of Microsoft's AI-powered Gaming Copilot assistant in action, revealing how the AI agent can potentially assist players who use it in games. Similar to other large language models like ChatGPT and Claude, it's designed to respond to queries in a friendly manner, albeit with a tone that borders on sycophantic. This has been a common complaint with large language models used by the public, as the tools have been criticized for reinforcing confirmation bias and being overly flattering.

The demo for Gaming Copilot appears to follow that trend of generative AI being eager to please, and comments below the post suggest that people find an LLM to be annoying when it responds to queries with flattering talk instead of getting straight to the point. Beyond the overly positive responses, Copilot does show some potential for helping players dive into the nitty-gritty of games--like fine-tuning a car in Forza Horizon 5 or asking for tips on how to progress further in Diablo 4. It remains to be seen just how effective these suggestions will ultimately be, and where the information will be sourced from.

Microsoft announced during its GDC talk that Copilot will be coming to Xbox Series X|S consoles later this year. It's currently available in a beta form for the Xbox PC and mobile apps--as well as ROG Xbox Ally devices--and Xbox's gaming AI partner group product manager Sonali Yadav added that Microsoft will "continue to bring it to more services that players are playing."

Crimson Desert's Opening Hours Want You To Rage Quit

Game News - Fri, 03/20/2026 - 21:38

Crimson Desert post-intro and onward is absolutely worth playing, but the vague tutorial instructions in the first couple of hours can immediately leave a sour taste in your mouth. First of all, don't worry, we've got you. And better news, it’s not like this for the whole game, it mellows out after a while! So let’s walk you through step by step on how to navigate the opening hours so you can get into the meat of the game.

If you ever get soft locked, you can either use the escape feature or one of the three auto save slots. The game auto saves pretty regularly so if you had something catastrophic happen within the past five minutes you can roll back, but anything farther than that it might not be accessible anymore--just be wary and manual save as needed.

Start off by simply talking to the Graymanes from the frontside--it's straightforward here, just keep progressing. It’ll then throw you into a fight, and you’ll have to attempt to save your three Graymane friends here. No biggie.

Reinstated Subnautica 2 Dev Says Krafton's Release Date Announcement Was Potentially "Damaging"

Game News - Fri, 03/20/2026 - 12:59

It's become a recurring theme, but the legal drama between the leaders of Subnautica 2 developer Unknown Worlds and its parent company Krafton isn't over. Lawyers for the reinstated CEO Ted Gill and founders Charlie Cleveland, and Max McGuire say Krafton set Subnautica 2's early access release without consulting them.

According to Game File, the legal team for Gill, Cleveland, and McGuire filed a complaint with the court alleging that Krafton's announcement potentially damaged "the game and [sowed] additional confusion among the Subnautica community."

The letter to the court goes on to note that Unknown Worlds studio head Steve Papoutsis had no authority to make the Subnautica 2 early-release announcement because it came after Gill was reinstated to his CEO position following a recent ruling. It further contends that Krafton's announcement occurred without the "significant marketing activity, fanfare, and community coordination" that would have normally accompanied such news. The filing also suggests that Krafton purposefully leaked the memo and later confirmed it in defiance of the earlier court order.

Game News - Fri, 03/20/2026 - 09:00

Are you currently doing Renee's Request in Crimson Desert? This is an early-game side quest in Hernand, the first town that you visit in the campaign. It's also a task that grants you a pretty nifty reward.

Crimson Desert - Renee's Request guide

You can start the Crimson Desert Renee's Request objective by visiting the Butchery in Hernand. It's at the end of the alley just past the Inn. There, you'll meet the shop owner, Renee, who tells you about her plans to cook a seafood meal. Renee's conundrum is that she's been cooking meat her entire life, and she's never had a chance to cook fish before. She wants you to handle it instead, and she even hands you the recipe and the ingredients.

Be sure to pick Modest Fish Porridge since Renee doesn't want to get too fancy.

Your goal in this particular side quest is to cook 3x Modest Fish Porridge. Here's what you need to do:

Where Can You Store Items In Crimson Desert

Game News - Fri, 03/20/2026 - 09:00

Are you wondering if there's a way to store items in Crimson Desert? Maybe there's an item chest or a player stash? Well, there isn't, at least not at this very moment. However, there are ways to help you manage all your loot.

Table of Contents [hide]Crimson Desert's lack of a player storage system

There's currently no player stash or storage in Crimson Desert. That in itself is quite an odd decision, given that this is an open-world action RPG that has numerous items to collect and upgrade.

However, we've learned from the developers at Pearl Abyss that they're planning to introduce a storage system in the future. There's no definite timeframe for this update, but it won't be part of the Day 1 Patch. So, what can you do to manage all your items in the game?
