Microsoft Edge is coming to Xbox One

4.3

Microsoft is bringing Edge to Xbox One.

Perhaps the most natural of announcements, Microsoft has confirmed its new, Windows 10-only internet browser Edge, will be making its way to Xbox One.

Xbox One currently runs a custom version of Internet Explorer, which while serviceable, definitely has room for improvement.

The confirmation comes from the browser’s dev team on Twitter, who unfortunately do not give a date or mention if it too will be a custom version.

Presumably, the new browser will be part of the upcoming UI overhaul, which itself is based on Windows 10. If not on launch, then possibly shortly after.

Yeah internet explorers on console are pretty pointless, unless all you want to do it just look up a guide or something. Other than that all the other apps you would use internet for are already apps on the xbox.

Only thing Edge annoyed me about is you can't have no named bookmarks. FeelsBadMan
I really don't like the use of browsers on consoles, they're so clunky

Edge is literally just a more modern IE, literally nothing different, its the same terrible browser.
