Today, Microsoft Edge Game Assist. Tomorrow, a Windows AI game buddy

Microsoft Edge Game Assist has worked its way through Microsoft's development cycle, and has been released for everybody. Even though we associate "Microsoft" with "Windows," Microsoft has numerous little platforms that it bolts features on to. Microsoft Edge Game Assist is one of these: It's a specialized hint tool for Game Bar, a Windows gaming feature that's been around for over half a decade with a steadily advancing feature set that includes performance tools, screen capture, and more. Instead of forcing you to stop what you're doing and start typing terms into search boxes, Game Assist "knows" what game you're playing and opens up what you might call a specialized hint browser. I went hands-on with Microsoft Edge Game Assist in January, where I launched it alongside Baldur's Gate 3 to see what sort of tips it could offer.
