Earlier in March, Microsoft started testing its updated Chromium-powered Edge browser for the Xbox Series X, giving access to users in the Alpha Skip Ahead group, as reported by The Verge. Now, one tester with access to the upgraded browser has shown the console running both Discord and Google Stadia.
According to The Verge editor Tom Warren who posted the short videos on Twitter, the browser is still a bit buggy in its beta iteration. Discord, for example, won’t allow mic input for users going through the Series X’s browser, but everything else works as expected.
Discord also works on Xbox Series X with the new Microsoft Edge Chromium version. It’s all very early and still in alpha testing so mic input doesn’t work yet, but you can join calls, text chat, and use Discord as you would on the web 👍 pic.twitter.com/ldkRcrWkZ2
