Microsoft Edge confirmed to be arriving on Xbox One

In a live Twitter Q&A, the Microsoft Edge Development Team were answering questions sent into them by the Edge community. Of course, it wasn't too long before a question related to Xbox One was asked - and sure enough, it was, and answered, too. Edge will be coming to Xbox One

Excellent - I've found the PC version to be quicker than Chrome or Firefox (and waaay faster than Explorer)... I've no idea how or why that is, but if the xbox sees similar improvements I'll be very happy.

choujij3574d ago

Internet Explorer by any other name is still Internet Explorer.

poppinslops3574d ago

Whatever - if it's faster, it's better, right?

Except it's not, it's renamed because it's a completely new browser.

The most obvious thing that proves this, is there's no legacy support for IE.

Write simple code to run on EDGE, it's done. Write simple code to run on IE, spend hours applying fixes and workarounds for every individual previous version of IE... and then cry when you reach IE6.

Not the same browser by a long shot, you'd think that was obvious when both IE11 and EDGE are seperate applications on Windows 10.

Pleasently surprised by how fast EDGE is compared to Chrome and Firefox. Firefox is now terrible in my opinion.

Yetter3574d ago

I've never liked firefox, it just seems so bloated.

FITgamer3574d ago

Not for me. Chrome is still faster. Also Edge still doesn't have extension support.

mcstorm3574d ago

I agree I have made the switch to Edge and have found it so much faster than the rest so far. It will be interesting to see how it works on the xbox one.

sonicjam3573d ago

Sorry, Edge still lags behind Chrome its been proven. Look it up

Edge is a fantastic web browser. Hope it's as good on Xbox One.

Grown Folks Talk3574d ago

Can we watch videos now? NFL Game Pass, Soonersports.tv, ect? If so, i'll be happy. Otherwise it's just superficial.

Deathdeliverer3574d ago

Edge is working fine for me and I can't wait to see it on my One. Bing, however, needs to GTFO. Please give me a option to set my search engine.

N4GJD3574d ago

But edge gets slower over time, lacks even the most basic features, and is glitchy.

And thats been my experience on two completely different PCs, so don't tell me otherwise!

Ten Years Later - Still Going Strong: Dying Light: Retouched Update Releasing June 26

Hey Survivors! Tymon here, your favorite Dying Light Franchise Director.

It's been an absolutely wild month here at Techland! We're in the thick of what I'm calling the "Summer of Dying Light," delivering updates and big news across all three Dying Light games. Just a few weeks ago, we dropped the first gameplay for Dying Light: The Beast, revealed its release date, and kicked off pre-orders (if you haven't seen it, check out my last dev blog). I'm incredibly proud of what we're building with The Beast - it’s the culmination of more than 10 years of experience in open-world survival horror!

But here's the thing: we never forget where we came from. That's why, this week, we're not just looking forward - we're rolling out significant updates for both the original Dying Light and Dying Light 2: Stay Human. We promised to support our games for a long time, and we're committed to continuing that support, right through and beyond the launch of Dying Light: The Beast.

It’s really old now. All great MMOs decline.

Also who wants to keep paying a monthly fee every month, there are other options like Guild Wars 2 😁with no monthly fee and while not that many people overall compared to FF XIV, it did increase to about 21 mil now.

Sephiroushin9h ago(Edited 9h ago)

I prefer to pay since i do not like guild wars and it keep kids away, but FF14 decreased on quality since they started to make it "more accessible", tried throne and liberty and while it was okay it has so many issues, same for dune awakening... Its time to start making a new FF MMO

Time for the Final Fantasy 17 MMO

kaewcha73420h ago

Looks like Square Enix is self-aware but still stuck in place, they see the player drop and apologize for the bugs, but nothing really changes. Shame, FFXIV used to be the gold standard

Servbot4119h ago

My entire free company has stopped playing. The writing has consistently gotten worse and the content is sparse and lacking; unless you are a hardcore player there's very little for you to do. They are over-catering to the people who will grind three+ times a week on a single fight for multiple months when the playerbase by large doesn't want that sort of content. Square needs to dedicate more resources to the game instead of wasting them on mobile and other live service slop.

The biggest factor for me is the way they butchered job design over the years , the casualization and over simplification really hurt a good chunk of enjoyment I used to have . Jobs lost any form of complexity and just became " press glowing button" DDR style for fighting where the gameplay loop is a about the 2 minute burst window . They removed most DoTS, timer mechanics , cast times, pets, RNG ect and all around homogenized everything . When you try and can cater to everyone ... you cater to no one .
