[Feature]: Support Windows Arm64 browsers

[marcpems]

🚀 Feature Request

Windows on Arm has had native browsers for some years and popularity of the platform is strong. Playwright already runs via Node.js emulated and Arm64 native . The main blocker is that Playwright ships only x64 browser bundles on Windows, forcing all browser automation into emulation.

This impacts downstream SDKs, Playwright‑.NET currently bundles x64 Node.js because of Playwright's lack of Arm64 browser support. This proposed fix was rejected for that reason: microsoft/playwright-dotnet#3288

Example

No response

Motivation

Native Arm64 browser support (or even a supported path to use system‑installed Edge Arm64 as a channel) would unlock:

• Native performance on Arm hardware
• More accurate testing and perf regression detection
• Fully native Playwright‑.NET builds
• Better alignment with Microsoft’s broader Arm64 strategy

There is no Chrome for Testing build for Win arm64 either, see this page. You can file a request in the Chromium repo.
