Microsoft is now adding a gaming panel to its Edge browser

It seems like Microsoft is bent on adding everything but the kitchen sink to the Edge browser in an attempt to make it fit every imaginable use case. Over the past few months, we've seen a number of new utilities introduced across the browser's various channels, including shopping features, Word-like citation tools, Office integration, math solvers, and more. One could argue that these are not core features of the browser and therefore should be added as extensions, but it's clear that Microsoft thinks differently.

Now, the company seems to be working on adding a gaming panel to Edge. As spotted by reliable Redditor u/Leopeva64-2, Edge Canary now has an appearance toggle that lets you add a game button next to the address bar on the multipurpose bar.

With this toggle enabled, you can click the Games button to launch a panel on the right side of the browser window, showing you a list of games, many of which are from MSN Games. These are divided into different categories such as Microsoft Classic, Arcade, Board & Cards, Puzzles, Sports, Casual, etc. Clicking on any game will launch it directly in the browser.

Although we are on Edge Canary 99.0.1117.0, we don't have a gaming panel to test its behavior yet. This also suggests that this is part of Microsoft's controlled rollout strategy, where it streams features in a staggered fashion ahead of general rollout.
