Edge Game Assist: A Browser Built for Gamers

Microsoft Edge Game Assist: A Game-Aware Browser Revolutionizing PC Gaming

Microsoft's Edge Game Assist, currently in preview, is poised to redefine the PC gaming experience. Designed to address the common frustration of Alt-Tabbing out of games to access browsers, Game Assist offers a streamlined, in-game browsing solution.

The Game-Aware Tab: Your In-Game Guide

Recognizing that a significant portion of PC gamers use browsers during gameplay, Microsoft created Edge Game Assist. This overlay browser, accessible via the Game Bar, eliminates the need to interrupt gameplay. It seamlessly integrates with your existing Microsoft Edge profile, offering access to your bookmarks, history, and saved data without requiring a separate login.

A key feature is the "game-aware tab page." This innovative function proactively suggests helpful guides and tips for the game you're currently playing, eliminating manual searches. This tab can even be pinned for real-time access to walkthroughs and strategies.

Currently, this automatic game detection is limited to a select group of popular titles:

• Baldur’s Gate 3
• Diablo IV
• Fortnite
• Hellblade II: Senua’s Saga
• League of Legends
• Minecraft
• Overwatch 2
• Roblox
• Valorant

Microsoft plans to expand game compatibility over time.

Getting Started with Edge Game Assist:

To experience Edge Game Assist, download the Beta or Preview version of Microsoft Edge and set it as your default browser. Navigate to the settings within the Beta/Preview version and search for "Game Assist" to initiate the installation of the widget. Prepare for a smoother, more efficient gaming experience!
