The goal of a universal Windows Store that supports Universal Windows 10 apps, Win32 apps, and Xbox games has been a unicorn for some time now. The ability to go to one location to get any app for any Windows 10 device will be a huge asset for the platform, and will allow Microsoft to leapfrog the competition.

We’ve know for some time now that such a Universal Windows Store would be made available eventually. Today at Build 2016, however, Microsoft Xbox chief Phil Spencer made its future official. The new Windows Store will support everything we’ve come to expect in Windows 10 apps, such as season passes, bundles, and other features, only across every device you own.

Developing story…

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
