The Xbox version of Edge hasn’t featured support for keyboards or mice, for one. With Edge Legacy losing official support on March 9, it seems that the new Edge for Xbox should be available to all users soon.ĭesktop experience - The Xbox has included an internet browser for a long time, but because the console is primarily intended for gaming, Edge for Xbox has really been a watered-down experience of a browser. The older version of Edge, now called Edge Legacy, was sunsetted on desktop last year as Microsoft standardizes the Chromium rendering engine that powers most internet sessions today. Microsoft Edge is available on the Xbox One, Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X, which will have a Halo Edition coming out in November.Microsoft is testing an updated version of Edge for the Xbox that brings the internet browser up to speed with its desktop counterpart. The update also comes with support for a mouse. This means people can open a tab on their console and send that to the Edge browser on their desktop or laptop.īookmarks, web history and settings will also sync between the different browsers once a user is signed in. The Edge browser on Xbox allows for sharing between other devices where a person is signed in. However, it's unlikely a Stadia app will be available for the Xbox anytime soon, and Discord has yet to release its app for the console. Though both can run via the browser, they won't have all the bells and whistles like they would on their respective apps.
Stadia and Discord are two examples of services that can now work on the Xbox's Edge browser, according to a Friday report from The Verge. The browser offers cross-platform functionality and also runs browser-based services. Microsoft changed that Thursday by adding the latest version of its Edge browser to Xbox consoles. Browsers on video game consoles tend to be bare bones.
