Microsoft Edge Game Assist hits Stable release so you can now use it to pin videos in-game without setting it as your default browser

It's here, what we've all been on the edge of our seats for: Game Assist in Microsoft Edge Stable. Okay, sorry, sorry—for the joke and for the sarcasm.

But yes, Microsoft's foray into anti-alt-tabbing activism is now out of beta. For the uninitiated, Game Assist debuted in November last year, much to the seeming chagrin of our Rich Stanton, who couldn't figure out exactly who the target market is for the feature.

It's essentially a browser that you can open without alt-tabbing, via your standard Win+G Game Bar. The key allure, though, apart from it attempting to find relevant guides and information for whatever you're playing in select games, is its ability to be pinned on-screen while gaming.

Y'know, for all the single-screen peasants (kidding—just a personal jab at my single-screen defenders here in the PC Gamer hardware den).

One big problem with it, though, was that it required you to change your default browser to Edge or install some Insider software.
