Microsoft rolls out an in-game “Game Assist” browser overlay that automatically surfaces guides and videos for players using the beta version of the Edge browser.
Microsoft has announced that Microsoft Edge Game Assist, a new Edge-powered in-game browser overlay, is available for beta testing in Windows 11. The “game-aware” overlay lives in the Microsoft Game Bar and is designed to automatically find and show you links to tips and guides for the game you’re playing, using the Edge browser.
You can also vote on which features you want to see added to Game Assist using the new Game Assist Community feedback portal, and we’ll be monitoring feedback on r/MicrosoftEdge, X, and other social channels as well. Game Assist only supports mouse and keyboard input for the moment, but Microsoft writes it’s adding support for handhelds and gamepads in the future. Compact Mode support is also coming later, the company says. Below are Microsoft’s instructions for getting started with Game Assist.
