Game Assist is a browser overlay that allows you to view articles and play videos without having to minimize the game. The option also automatically suggests suitable content for supported games, including Baldur’s Gate 3, Diablo IV, Overwatch 2, and League of Legends.
The program uses the same browser data as Edge on the user’s computer. Therefore, your favorites, search history, cookies and other data are available while you play.
Currently, the browser only works in English. Keyboard and mouse are supported as input methods. In the future, the developers plan to add support for game controllers and handheld devices.
Microsoft clarifies that during beta testing it will collect user feedback and fix bugs. The full release date for Edge Game Assist has yet to be announced.
