Microsoft releases Game Assist to help you with in-game puzzles

Microsoft's new Edge Game Assist gives you in-game help without pausing your game, and it now supports even more titles.

Microsoft has officially launched Edge Game Assist for all users, bringing helpful hints and walkthroughs right inside your PC games. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the middle of a game and had to switch tabs to search for tips, this new tool is here to save you time—and keep you focused on the action.

What is Edge Game Assist?

Edge Game Assist is part of Microsoft’s growing range of gaming tools. While many think of Windows and Microsoft as the same thing, Microsoft has quietly built features across different platforms. Game Assist connects Microsoft Edge, the company’s web browser, to the Windows Game Bar—a feature that has improved for over five years. The Game Bar already includes tools like screen capture, performance tracking, and quick access to music. Now, with Game Assist, it does even more.

Instead of leaving your game to search for help, Edge Game Assist opens a helpful window inside your game. It knows which game you’re playing and brings up guides, tips, and solutions for your specific puzzles or tasks. It’s a smart way to get help without breaking your flow.

Earlier this year, Microsoft first tested Game Assist with several games. In January, a hands-on test using the tool with the popular game Baldur’s Gate 3 showed how the system could give real-time advice based on what was happening in the game.

More games are now supported

When it first launched, Game Assist only worked with a few titles. Now, Microsoft has expanded support to include many more games. Some additions include Split Fiction, Avowed, and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered. There are even strategy titles like Hearts of Iron IV on the list.

Microsoft says each supported game comes with its tips and guides. These guides appear right inside your game, offering advice without switching windows or searching online. It’s a smoother way to learn and improve while playing, whether new to a game or returning after a long break.

This also hints at Microsoft’s bigger plan. By connecting its Edge browser, Game Bar, and other tools, the company is making blending web content and gameplay easier. It’s not just about playing better—learning smarter, with fewer interruptions.

AI could change gaming help even more

What’s next? Game Assist may only be the beginning. Microsoft seems to be moving toward an even more advanced kind of in-game help—AI-powered. With tools like Copilot Vision (an AI assistant that can “see” your screen and offer help), the company is exploring new ways to assist players.

Currently, Copilot Vision isn’t very impressive, but it shows potential. If Microsoft can improve it, future updates might let your computer understand what’s happening in your game and give you real-time suggestions. That could mean automatic help for challenging levels, reminders for important tasks, or tips for solving tricky puzzles.

If you’re a PC gamer, it’s worth watching these updates. Microsoft is slowly building a system that helps you play games and supports you while you play. Game Assist is the latest step and is now ready for everyone to try.
