Opera’s gaming variant of its web browser, Opera GX, is now officially available to download directly from the Epic Games Store as of January 27th. Opera GX is similar to how the regular Opera browser works but with exclusive features that are tailored to gamers. GX Control can limit the amount of RAM that the browser can use, alongside similar features for Wi-FI or CPU speeds. It was inevitable that we’d eventually see Opera’s gaming browser on a gaming storefront, and it could lead to features from Epic appearing on Opera GX in time, such as downloading games or chatting to your friends through an Epic Games messenger client.
“At Opera, our mission is to create superior products that people choose to use and install,” said Annette de Freitas, Head of Business Development at Opera Gaming. “This mission has led to the development of Opera GX, the browser of choice for gamers, who decide to make it default for its superior features, look and feel. Opera GX is the perfect fit for the Epic Games Store because of this shared passion to create choice and enable a community of gamers.”
There’s the possibility that other vendors in this space, such as Apple, Mozilla, and Microsoft may be looking into a gaming variant of Safari, Firefox, and Edge, but we suspect this is a space that Opera will have on its own for the foreseeable future. When you factor in the other apps that are built into Opera GX such as Twitch and Discord, alongside being able to sync up your RGB to the web browser, it makes sense in the grand scheme of your gaming.
You may feel as though other web browsers, such as Microsoft Edge and Firefox will do the job for browsing sites and downloading files. But if you either have a hard drive partition that’s focused solely on gaming, or a Gaming PC, it makes sense to have a web browser that tries to solve the same need.
