Microsoft is mixing some of its most popular game properties with its significantly less popular Microsoft Edge browser, offering a number of custom browser themes designed around games including Halo, Sea of Thieves, and Microsoft Flight Simulator. The themes can be applied for free via the Microsoft Edge Add-on Store.
There are 21 new game-related themes to pick from, as well as one themed after Wonder Woman 1984, and a couple that tie into Microsoft 365.
