Accessibility and ease of use are among the key things Microsoft has been focusing on providing Xbox users in recent times. From services like Xbox Game Pass and xCloud to new features on the Xbox mobile app<\/a>, the company has taken plenty of steps to make the Xbox ecosystem more convenient to use in various ways. Case in point, it looks like Xbox users will receive a new and improved version of Microsoft\u2019s web browser, Edge.<\/p>\n

With most gamers more likely to use their phones to access the internet, built-in web browsers in game consoles tend to rank lower on the list of needed features, with consoles like the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5 lacking an official browser<\/a> altogether. Still, since 2015, Microsoft has provided Xbox One (and now Xbox Series X\/S) owners with an Edge app that lets them surf the web without having to put down their controllers.<\/p>\n

Six years later, the Xbox<\/a> app has essentially remained the same, but a big change is on the horizon. According to Xbox Insiders in the program\u2019s Alpha Skip-Ahead ring, a brand new app is available to download for testing, based on the Chromium version of the browser that debuted for Windows 10 PCs last year.<\/p>\n
