Introducing Microsoft Edge Game Assist (Preview)—a seamless, full-featured in-game browser
- Microsoft introduces Microsoft Edge Game Assist (Preview), which is the first in-game browser designed for PC gaming and is available setup via Game Bar (Win+G).

It has been optimized to display a unique set of gaming tabs and sidebar apps for a gaming-centric experience and the best performance while displaying resources for gaming whenever you open a new tab
- Users can pin the Game Assist browser above their game so they can reference a guide or watch a video while they play, and it also lets them reorder, remove, or add new apps to the sidebar for an easier experience. They can even adjust the transparency in the Game Bar settings under Personalization to display the widget above the game. Game Assist widget work above any game, and you can use it alongside other overlays.
- Game Assist shares data with the full Edge browser on your PC. This means that if you have multiple channels of Edge set as your default browser, it will prefer that channel instead. It also means that you will have access to the same data and features as Edge, such as accessing history, form fills, bookmarks and more while gaming.
- Game Assist is optimized for mouse and keyboard, and support for Compact Mode in Game Bar, handhelds and gamepad input will be added in the future. As a public preview, it is being released while Microsoft gauges user feedback to enhance and improve the experience.
- The Game Assist widget is automatically closed after a period of inactivity but open tabs are restored when Game Assist is re-opened. Some keyboard shortcuts aren't yet supported. It supports Windows 11 24H2, 23H2, 22H2, and all Windows Insider channels.
