Xbox Series X/S Is Getting an Upgraded Browser That Can Play Google Stadia
As reported The Verge, testers in Xbox’s Alpha Skip-Ahead group can now access this new version of Edge, and while it still doesn’t have full mouse and keyboard support and is a bit buggy, it appears much better than the current solution.

One benefit of a Chromium browser on Xbox is allowing it to work with browser-based streaming services like Google Stadia and Amazon Luna. Additionally, even though Xbox consoles have native access to Xbox Game Pass, this could theoretically also allow for Xbox’s Cloud Gaming through a browser once Microsoft adds support for it in Spring 2021.
Furthermore, this should allow for improved compatibility with browser-based games and services like Skype and Discord through the web.
This early version also includes the same or a similar sync engine used on Edge, which allows for extensions, vertical tabs, Collections, and most other featured found on Edge’s desktop version.

While Google may have shut down Stadia’s internal studios, the streaming service is still running and is set to get “more than 100 games” in 2021.

Tomb Raider: Definitive Survivor Trilogy Spotted For Xbox
Players who haven’t yet experienced the rebooted Tomb Raider trilogy will apparently be getting a new option very soon. Listed before being taken offline, the Tomb Raider Definitive Survivor Trilogy will bundle all three games together in one package.
According to the Microsoft Store listing, which now gives you an error message, the bundle will be out on March 18. It contains Tomb Raider, Rise of the Tomb Raider, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider. All three games are also already available on PS4 and PC, though Rise of the Tomb Raider was initially not released on PlayStation, with Microsoft publishing the game and holding console exclusivity for nearly a year.
The new Tomb Raider games essentially gave the series a clean slate, reimagining Lara Croft as a young archaeologist who gradually turns into a hardened survivalist–and killer–after an accident leaves her crew stranded on a remote island.
