Opera GX becomes the world’s first browser with dynamic background music

Reading Time: 2 minutes
Opera GX, the world’s first browser designed for people who love PC gaming, is releasing a major new feature still unknown to other browsers: adaptive background music. The new functionality aims to bring an immersive sound experience known from gaming to web browsing.
Opera GX initially launched in 2019 with sound effects designed by the acclaimed composer Ruben Rincón and the Berlinist band, known for the Bafta-nominated soundtrack to Gris. The same team is responsible for the new dynamic background music in Opera GX.
“We are excited to finally reveal the entire concept we’ve had in mind: We wanted to give our browser the immersive sound experience known from games, where a perfectly-composed soundtrack lets you focus more, forget about any worries and boosts your overall experience by adapting to the task at hand. I believe we have succeeded,” said Maciej Kocemba, product Director of Opera GX.
The dynamic background music in Opera GX is an ambient downtempo that boosts the users’ focus. It intensifies whenever users are actively browsing the web, clicking on links or typing, and becomes less dramatic and calmer whenever they become less active. It is aimed to disappear into the background but to also be missed once it’s gone.
The background music as well as all browser sound effects can be individually toggled on and off in the browser’s setting in the Browser sounds section.
GX Composer Award at Game Music Festival 2020
“We see the initial background music as just a start and would like to provide more options to our users in the future. Just as there are fans of different game genres, people love different types of background music. That’s why we want to give more game score composers the opportunity to present their music to millions of Opera GX users around the globe,” added Maciej Kocemba.
To make this vision a reality, Opera GX has partnered with the international Game Music Festival and sponsored its annual GMF 2020 High Score Competition, where music score composers can compete for cash prizes and to have their music featured in Opera GX by winning the GX Composer 2020 title. The competition opens on Sept. 16 2020.
Twitter now built into the Opera GX sidebar
With native integration of Twitch, Discord, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and Instagram in the sidebar, Opera GX makes it easy to stay on top of conversations with friends, as well as with developing online trends and streams. This set of integrated messengers has now been extended with built-in Twitter in the sidebar, a feature Opera GX adopted from the main Opera browser.
Opera GX
Opera GX launched in June 2019 during the E3 Gaming Expo in Los Angeles. The browser distinguishes itself with unique features tailored to the tastes and needs of gamers. Along with numerous color customization options, Razer Chroma support and a gaming-inspired design, it includes CPU, RAM and Network Bandwidth limiters that make the browser less resource-hungry and leave more of the computer’s resources for gaming. The browser also includes a Hot Tabs Killer feature, which lets users “kill” the most resource draining tabs.
Opera GX has grown 183% year-to-date and now reaches over 4 million monthly active gamers. The browser has won two leading design awards: the Red Dot Design Award 2019 as well as the IF Design Award 2020.

Neon Towers & Plenty of Thrill: ELA Games Unleashes New Winpot Game Joker Jam
Reading Time: 2 minutes
The studio releases its latest exciting addition to the Winpot series
ELA Games announces the release of its latest title, Joker Jam, a bold visual addition to the studio’s growing portfolio of strategic yet aesthetic games.
Set under the neon glow of a vibrant city, Joker Jam reimagines the classic Vegas aesthetic into a thrilling experience. Familiar symbols such as sevens and fruits adorn the reels while looming Winpot towers grow with each win. Joker Jam is a game for all players due to its engagingly strategic yet straightforward mechanics and high replay value.
Spoiler alert: the Joker Jam is available now in a seasonal holiday edition, featuring a limited-time winter-themed design. After the festive season, the game will revert to its original visual version.
The Newest Addition to the Winpot Series
Joker Jam is the latest addition to the Winpot series, adding a new visual angle to an already established product line. The Winpot Towers grow with each win, where the player can choose their own style of play to increase winnings. The 7 symbol charges up the Winpot Towers, with each Seven powering the tower with its own colour, with respective multipliers when you fill them to the top.
Joker Jam joins the family of Winpot games, which includes Joker Winpot, Zeus Winpot, and Rabbit Winpot Deluxe. This award-nominated trademark mechanic has demonstrated notable results for operators due to its fast-paced nature, giving players control over their gameplay by allowing them to decide when to cash out or continue.
Reimagining Classic Visuals With Thrilling Features
One of the most enticing aspects of Joker Jam is its visually rich animations and design, allowing players to immerse themselves in the game fully. To complement this, the game has various features to keep gameplay action-packed:
- Winpot Towers: Each 7 symbol fuels its matching colour tower, and players can choose to climb the Tower for bigger rewards or cash out when they want.
- Good Joker: This Joker boosts your run, jumping players’ progress up one level across all Towers instantly.
- Bad Joker: One appearance from the meddling Bad Joker resets all progress in the Towers.
The game’s familiar visuals that have been revamped with the studio’s signature art style, atmosphere, and high-stakes mechanics make Joker Jam both easy to pick up and hard to put down.
Marharyta Yerina, Managing Director, commented on the game’s release, “Joker Jam is an important addition to the Winpot series as we look to develop our trademark mechanic to continue its status as a must-have feature in casino lobbies. The game’s mix of enticing visuals and fast-paced gameplay drives growth for operators, which has quickly elevated it as one of the most replayable titles in our well-balanced portfolio. We look forward to seeing how the game performs on initial release and hope everyone enjoys it!”
