Game Extensions for Microsoft Edge: Games and Video Tools

Last updated: October 15, 2026

Game extensions for Microsoft Edge can add quick platform games, puzzles or a larger browser-based RPG. Start with the official Edge Add-ons store, check the publisher, and choose a game that fits the amount of time and browser access you want to give it.

Below are a few options with current store or developer pages, plus a video-viewing extension. Features, availability and prices can change, so check the listing before installing.

Use the linked store or developer page to check current features, requirements and any charges.

Boxel Rebound: quick platforming sessions

Boxel Rebound is a simple jumping game from Doppler Creative. It is a practical starting point if you want short levels rather than a long game session. The store listing also describes a level editor.

Check the publisher and current listing details before downloading. If you care about saved progress, check the game’s current save or export options before removing it or changing browser profiles.

Boxel 3D: a larger platforming option

Boxel 3D takes the platforming idea into a 3D game. It appears in Microsoft’s gaming collection, and Doppler Creative also has a developer overview of the game.

It is an option to compare when you want more than a quick grid puzzle. Look at the current store description for features such as custom levels and online play; do not assume every mode works offline.

Dedalium: an RPG across browsing sessions

Dedalium adds a role-playing game to browsing, with a character, equipment and battles. Its developer provides an Edge option on the download page and explains the game in its FAQ.

This is a bigger commitment than a small pop-up puzzle. Read the account requirements, store permissions and any paid-feature details. A game designed to appear on webpages may ask for more page access than a self-contained game.

Turn Off the Lights: a tool for watching video

Turn Off the Lights can dim the surrounding webpage so that the video stands out. It is a viewing tool rather than a game.

Try the website’s own fullscreen, subtitle and playback controls first. Add an extension when it provides a feature you actually want. A video extension does not include a streaming-service subscription or guarantee compatibility with every player.

Old watch-party and streaming add-ons can change names, lose compatibility or disappear. Check the developer’s current site and the store listing rather than relying on an old download link or an old promise about supported services.

How to install a game extension in Edge

Open Microsoft Edge Add-ons in Edge.
Search for the exact extension name.
Check the publisher, description, recent update information and requested permissions.
Select Get and review the browser’s installation prompt.
After installation, open Edge’s Extensions menu and launch the extension. Choose Show in toolbar if you want its button visible and that option is offered.

Microsoft’s extension FAQ covers the browser’s extension controls.

Check permissions before choosing a game

Access to webpages: a game that runs over other sites may need it. Decide whether that fits how you plan to use the extension.
Publisher: names and icons can be copied. Follow the developer’s official store link when available.
Account and payments: check what is available without an account and what features cost extra.
Saved progress: look for backup or sync details before removing the extension.
Browser behavior: a small game should not need unexplained changes to your homepage or search engine.

If a newly installed extension changes your browser’s start page, our homepage and search-engine guide explains how to check those settings.

Disable or remove an extension

Open the three-dot menu > Extensions > Manage extensions. Use the switch to disable an extension, or select Remove to uninstall it.

If Edge becomes slow or behaves differently after an installation, disable the newest extension and test again. A browser extension can use memory and processor time; adding one does not automatically improve game performance.

For visual effects inside supported Windows PC games, see our separate NVIDIA game-filter guide. Those filters have a different job from an Edge game extension.

Common questions

Are Edge game extensions free?

Many can be installed without an upfront charge, but accounts, ads or extra features may be part of the game. Read the current listing and developer information.

Can they work offline?

It depends on the game. An online RPG or multiplayer feature needs a connection. Do not assume that installing an extension makes its whole game available offline.
