Microsoft acknowledges the common practice of gamers using browsers for assistance, progress tracking, music, or communication. Edge Game Assist addresses this by providing a browser overlay accessible through the Game Bar, eliminating the need to interrupt gameplay. This overlay seamlessly integrates with your existing Edge profile, maintaining your bookmarks, history, and login information.

This innovative browser boasts a "game-aware" tab page, intelligently suggesting relevant tips and guides for the game you're currently playing. This eliminates the need for manual searches, a significant time-saver for the 40% of PC gamers who commonly seek in-game assistance. You can even pin this tab for real-time access to guides.

Currently in beta, support is limited to select titles:

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

More games will be added over time.
