Microsoft Wants Edge To Be Your Gaming Browser With Edge Game Assist
Whether you're pulling up information about optimizing a build in Diablo 4, looking for a walkthrough for Rise of the Golden Idol, or can't figure out how to nail a combo in Street Fighter 6, the internet is an indispensable tool when gaming. Microsoft has introduced a new feature called Game Assist to its Edge browser that the company hopes will make it your number one gaming companion.
Game Assist is a "game-optimized" version of Edge that can appear as part of the Windows Game Bar that pops up when you hit WinKey+G or press the Xbox button on your Xbox game pad. When you activate the Game Assist browser, it will appear as part of the Game Bar overlay and can be pinned to your screen to have it hover over your game. You can also set transparency so that it isn't quite as obtrusive when pinned. The key feature, though, is the "game-aware new tab page."
Right now, this only works with a short list of games, as the feature is currently in beta testing, but once it's available live, Microsoft intends for this game-aware New Tab page to automatically detect which game you're playing so that it can suggest game-specific guides for you to pull up. This version of Edge will have access to all of the same information that your Edge browser does, so any saved passwords, bookmarks, and so on will be present.
