Unlock Limitless Gaming with Edge's Revolutionary "Game Aware" Feature

Microsoft Edge introduces Game Assist, a revolutionary in-game browser designed to enhance your PC gaming experience. This innovative tool eliminates the need to alt-tab out of your game to access web content, streamlining gameplay and improving overall efficiency. Learn how this "game-aware" browser transforms your gaming sessions.

A Seamless Gaming Experience

Edge Game Assist, currently in preview, addresses a common gamer frustration: the interruption caused by switching between games and browsers. Microsoft's research shows a significant percentage of PC gamers use browsers concurrently for assistance, progress tracking, communication, or entertainment. Game Assist elegantly solves this by providing a browser overlay accessible directly within the game via the Game Bar.

This overlay maintains a consistent user experience with the standard Edge browser, seamlessly integrating your bookmarks, history, cookies, and autofill data. No need for repeated logins or re-configuring settings.

Game-Aware Tab: Your In-Game Guide

A standout feature is the "game-aware" tab page. Recognizing the high percentage of players seeking in-game tips and guides, Game Assist proactively suggests relevant resources based on the game currently being played. This intuitive design eliminates the need for manual searches, providing instant access to helpful information. Users can even pin the guide widget for real-time reference.

Current Game Support and Future Expansion

While still in beta, Game Assist currently supports popular titles including Baldur's Gate 3, Diablo IV, Fortnite, Hellblade II: Senua's Saga, League of Legends, Minecraft, Overwatch 2, Roblox, and Valorant. Microsoft has pledged to expand compatibility to a wider range of games over time.

Getting Started

To experience Edge Game Assist, download the Edge Beta or Preview version, set it as your default browser, and locate the Game Assist option within the settings menu. Installation is straightforward and will integrate the widget seamlessly into your gaming environment. Prepare for a more immersive and efficient gaming experience!
