Microsoft Lists, Then Removes, 'Xenoblade Chronicles X' from Edge Game Assist

Microsoft's official blog announced the launch of the new Edge Game Assist feature on May 29. This tool is designed to let players access web resources—like tips and guides—without needing to exit their games.

In its announcement, Microsoft briefly included Nintendo's Xenoblade Chronicles X as one of the titles enhanced with Game Assist. However, the company has since removed the game from the list.

According to VideoGamer, fans noticed the listing stayed up for at least two days before being taken down. As of now, no PC version of Xenoblade Chronicles X has been announced.
