New Microsoft Store design heading to Xbox consoles

A new Microsoft Store design will soon head to Xbox One (and by extension, Xbox Series X in future), heading to Xbox Insiders to try first.

“The new Microsoft Store on Xbox is more than twice as fast as before,” Cody Bird, Principle Program Manager of Xbox, wrote on Xbox Wire.

“It launches in under two seconds, and the browse performance is greatly improved – it’s faster than ever to load pages and find what you need, whether it’s checking out a sale price or watching HD trailers.”

Trailers can be viewed from the map — via autoplay this time around, so hopefully they’re not firing themselves off all willy nilly as on the current store — with the overall goal of making the experience easier for consumers.

Xbox Insiders will see the new Microsoft Store from as early as 5 August; we’ll let you know when the general populace will be able to access it as soon as the information is available.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
