What if your kids could use their Xbox to do their homework on, before gaming? Xbox already has robust parental control tools baked into the console, alongside Microsoft Edge. File structure access and more seamless OneDrive integration are all it'd take to turn an Xbox Series S into a cheap, but fairly potent web-based productivity PC, complete with serious gaming chops on the side for good measure. While Xbox no doubt has its hands full building games and services specifically for, you know, gaming, I can't help but be curious about the potential Microsoft Edge opens up for Xbox to become more productivity-oriented. But hey, perhaps the Xbox OS could pick up the slack? We expect Windows 10X to be discussed at Build 2021 this year, alongside the long-rumored visual refresh of Windows 10, internally dubbed Sun Valley.Įdit May 7, 2021: Nevermind, apparently Windows 10X is dead.

I am using the excellent wireless Razer Turret mouse and keyboard combo for Xbox, which is quite easily the best keyboard for Xbox right now. Critically, it also supports a mouse and keyboard, which you'd hope to find on a modern web browser solution. The Gears of War theme gives new tabs some Gears flavor, alongside red and black accents for the browser itself. There's also a range of Xbox-style custom tabs you can get. Microsoft Edge for Xbox has all of the features of the beta channel version of Microsoft Edge on PC, including newer features like vertical tabs and theme skins. No doubt both of these things will be fixed before it ships to the public though. Also, it seems in-line video embeds can also crash the browser as of writing.
It is at least aware of where my cursor is and moves out of the way when I'm trying to type. Notably, the on-screen keyboard pops up and doesn't seem to be aware of when I have a physical keyboard connected, which is a tad annoying.
