Could gamers flock to Microsoft Edge?
Microsoft is doubling down on efforts to engage the gaming community with a new feature called “Edge for Gamers”, a mode that promises to elevate user experience inside and outside gaming.from Bleeping Computer, the new mode will enable a range of enhancements, including a gaming-focused home page and new sidebar apps aimed at gamers.
There is a new 'Edge for Gamers' toggle on the Appearance page , after enabling it you are automatically redirected to the themes section of the Add-ons Store and the Discord and Twitch apps are also automatically added to the Sidebar: pic.twitter.com/6KWdpk2hPQThe potential update also adds a gaming efficiency mode which presumably reduces browser resource usage to provide the best in-game experience.
The new mode is still in the early stages of development. Once live, though, users can go to the Appearance section of their settings and enable “Edge for Gamers” under the Customize browser section. Activating the mode doesn’t change the browser experience in any significant way, according to Bleeping Computer. Once the mode is enabled, however, users are automatically redirected to the themes section of the Edge Add-ons Store, and popular gaming platforms like Discord and Twitch are added to the sidebar.Sign up to receive daily breaking news, reviews, opinion, analysis, deals and more from the world of tech.
