Players can access this feature by going to Microsoft Edge and opening up the Settings and more to find the Game Assist widget. Once installed, the Game Assist feature will be available in the Game Bar. Because the Game Assist shares date with Edge's browser data, players' favorites, browsing history, and cookies will all remain the same.

According to The Verge, Game Assist is still technically in a preview state and support for more titles will be added in the future. It's another facet of Microsoft's ongoing gaming ambitions, which include plans to bring all PC games with Xbox features into the Xbox app. Late last year, Microsoft also launched a test pilot program for Game Pass Ultimate members to stream some games they own on Xbox consoles.
