Microsoft has confirmed on social media that its Edge browser will soon arrive on the Xbox One.

The Washington-based tech giant was recently asked by Twitter user @SHarshaT if the company had plans to incorporate Edge to its current generation gaming console. Microsoft then responded affirmatively but did not elaborate further.

Although it is still not known as to what capacity Edge run on the gaming console, its PC version holds a lot of promise for Xbox One users.

On PC, Edge has support for Microsoft's newly implemented virtual assistant, Cortana. It has new page designs for tabs plus a functionality that lets PC users annotate pages through drawing directly on the screen via Web Note. Edge can also detect the user's' most frequently visited sites and will thumbnail them accordingly.

Edge users might enjoy navigating websites through Edge since scrolling is seamless, rendering issues are far less noticeable than in Internet Explorer and pages load a lot quicker, The Verge previously reported.

Once users open Edge, they are immediately met with a simplistic home page that asks, "Where to next?" on top of a search bar that doubles as the browser's navigation tool.

There is also a designated portion of the home page that flashes personalized news feed, weather information and even sports scores of favorite teams.

To cater to online news readers, Edge can save web pages and articles for future reading. It can also swiftly transition to a cleaner browser interface, free from ads and banners, for easy-on-the-eyes reading.

Amid all these positive features, Edge on PC does have its share of caveats that might also make its way to the Xbox One.

One of which is the curiously peculiar way of changing its default search engine. Edge is powered by Bing, and even though users can revert to their preferred search engines, Edge doesn't make it easy to do. This gives the impression that Microsoft doesn't users to.

Nonetheless, Microsoft's Windows 10 OS has racked up 75 million installs as of August 2015. The Washington-based tech is targeting one billion Windows 10 devices by 2018. It's safe to say the company's slow incorporation of Windows 10 features to the Xbox One will help them reach the desired quota.

"Windows 10 for desktop PCs has incredible momentum right now...We're going to bring all of that efficiency to Xbox One," Xbox engineering head Mike Ybarra said on the "MNR 553" podcast via Trusted Reviews.
