We announced the release of Microsoft Edge Game Assist (Preview) just before the holidays, and we've been thrilled by the response from players. Today, we're excited to share that we're expanding the preview of Game Assist to Edge Stable, making it even easier for players to try it without installing special software or changing your default browser. We're also excited to share some of the latest changes we've made based on your feedback.
Game Assist (Preview) arrives in the Stable channel
For technical reasons, the initial preview of Game Assist required you to install Edge Beta 132 and set it as your default browser. With the release of Edge Stable 132, Game Assist is available without any Insider software or needing to change your default browser, making it even easier to use on your gaming PC. To opt-into Game Assist (Preview), open Edge, go to Settings and more ("...") > Settings, search for Game Assist in the search box, find the Game Assist option, and select Install widget. It's that easy. From now on, you can access Game Assist (Preview) at any time by opening Game Bar with Win+G. If you're already using Game Assist, you don't have to change anything. Going forward Game Assist will use Edge Stable by default, but for the latest and greatest updates you can set it to use Edge Beta, Dev, or Canary instead. To do this, simply set the channel you'd like to use as your default browser and restart Game Assist.What's new in Game Assist

Without further ado, here's what's new in Game Assist (Preview).Discover tips and guides for some of the hottest new releases
