Opera for its Opera GX which is a gamer-focused web browser was launched in June 2019. Its headline feature is a slide-out control panel that lets you limit the browser's bandwidth and see which tabs are demanding the most CPU and RAM resources.

Opera says it will create a new division, with the imaginative title Opera Gaming, by combining the Opera GX and GameMaker teams.

Stuart Poole, General Manager of YoYo Games said: “"We have always had big plans for improving GameMaker across all platforms, both from the perspective of improving accessibility and further developing the features available to commercial studios. And now we can't wait to see them arrive much sooner."
