  • The Edge surf game is now available on Edge Canary for Android.
  • Edge's surf game is an endless runner that has you avoid obstacles along the waves.
  • Support for the surf game has been requested for a long time, according to Microsoft.

While Edge's surf game may not be as useful as some of Microsoft's other new features for its browser, it is highly requested. The Microsoft Edge Dev Twitter account says that people have asked for the Edge surf game on mobile for a long time.

For those unfamiliar with Edge's surf game, it's an endless runner, or rather an endless surfer. Your player moves down the screen on its own, and you tap left or right to avoid obstacles. You have to avoid rocks, other surfers, and octopi to continue surfing. You can play the Edge surf game by going to "edge://surf" in Edge Canary on Android.

The game has three modes, endless, time trial, and zig zag. You can keep track of your high score and share the game with your friends as well. If you'd like, you can even reduce the speed of the game.
