Amazon gives a selection of games away every month to Prime subscribers. Over the last month, they have been given out Fallout 76 - - - on the Microsoft Store. Does anyone buy triple A games on the Microsoft Store over Steam?

Does the Microsoft store link with your Xbox profile? As in, games purchased on Xbox are playable on PC, or vice versa? If so then that may be an incentive for some people

Hmm, I don't know. I just remembered that that does work with 1st party Xbox games (I think my brother used that for Forza Horizon 5), I don't know if it works with 3rd party games.

More larger game tiles,everything is pretty easy to find its fast to load in things (but that depends on your internet mostly) and the acrylic blur makes it feel fresh and clean, think they did a decent job at making a game library/launcher, steam has improved when it comes to the games library but everything else is dated and abit like an old web browser style and kinda squished

may not be for everyone but I've had no issues and especially no issues with games not downloading or downloading slow either that iv seen a few people report in the past.
