Microsoft Introduces Edge Game Assist for Seamless In-Game Browsing

The new feature, currently in preview, integrates a streamlined Edge browser into Windows 11's Game Bar to enhance gaming sessions.

  • Edge Game Assist allows PC gamers to access a browser overlay without leaving their game, reducing the need for alt-tabbing or using phones.
  • The feature is integrated into the Windows 11 Game Bar and supports popular games like Baldur's Gate 3, Diablo IV, and Minecraft with 'game-aware' tips and guides.
  • Users can pin and resize the browser overlay to watch videos, browse guides, or use services like Discord and Spotify while gaming.
  • Game Assist shares data with the main Edge browser, ensuring seamless access to favorites, cookies, and logins across devices.
  • To use the feature, players must set Edge Beta as their default browser and access it through the Game Bar overlay in supported Windows 11 versions.
