Surf to your heart’s delight

Microsoft Edge has plenty of compelling features built right in, such as faster startup performance and advanced security to keep you protected online. But did you know it also has built-in browser games? You can play some of the greatest hits you might remember from your childhood, such as the full Microsoft Solitaire Collection, as well as twists on old favorites.

Catch the wave! Discover Surf, the hidden and endlessly addicting game secretly built into Microsoft Edge. Navigate the two-dimensional waves in an endlessly scrolling arcade game that you can control directly with your keyboard, on a Microsoft Surface touchscreen, or with an Xbox controller. Challenge yourself to set and break records on how far you can surf in Endless mode, navigate a slalom in the seas in Zig Zag mode, or beat the clock in a Time Trial—all while you avoid obstacles like breakwaters, docks, palm trees, and the occasional Kraken.

To access Microsoft Edge Surf, simply type edge://surf/ into the address bar of Microsoft Edge. You’ll be able to start playing immediately, without needing to download or install a thing.

Use the Games menu to start playing now

Access classics like Microsoft Solitaire, Bubble, and Sudoku in the Games menu on the Microsoft Edge sidebar. In the right side of the browser, look for the Games icon, which resembles a pair of black and purple chess pieces. If you can’t find the Games icon, select the plus sign at the bottom of the sidebar and add it in the Apps section.

Now you can access thousands of games! Challenge yourself to puzzle games, play classics like chess, solitaire, and Microsoft Jewel, or get into the action with racing and sports titles.
