Microsoft store Xbox

Microsoft store Xbox is a digital distribution platform that allows users to download or purchase videos games like Xbox Live Arcade games, full Xbox one and Xbox 360 titles, game demos and other miscellaneous content such as Dashboard themes and gamer pictures.

As of late 2012, the store also previously offered sections for downloading video content, such as film and televisions episodes; this functionality was superseded by Xbox Music and Xbox Video (now known as Groove Music and Microsoft Movies & TV respectively). Microsoft store was formerly called the “Windows stores”.

In 2015, as the results of the release of “Windows 10” the Microsoft store was updated. Recently, in the year 2017, Xbox Store was replaced on Xbox one by Microsoft store, as the standard digital storefront for all “Windows 10” devices. In April 2019, the books category was also removed while 2021 the Microsoft store was updated with “Windows 11”.  Microsoft included numerous revisions to its application submission policies to make the platform easily accessible. This update brought about Unity and it enables users to download apps, games, music, movies and TV shows, and books from a single platform. Microsoft also exists as an application on the “Windows operating system” and also on the “web app”.

One beautiful thing is that, the Xbox app on PC relies on two Microsoft accounts: the Microsoft Store account, and the Xbox account that is your personal computer gaming account. In most cases, it’s best if the Microsoft Store and Xbox accounts are the same. When an error occurs as a result of a mismatch between a Microsoft Store and Xbox accounts, the Xbox app will report it with a pop-up banner and a link to review possible changes. It advisable to set up your Xbox account as the store account for the best experience.
