About this tag
The multi-store tag on WindowsForum.com covers Microsoft's strategy to open the Xbox ecosystem to multiple digital storefronts, moving away from a single locked store. Discussions focus on the next-generation Xbox built on a Windows-derived core, enabling users to access games from various platforms like Steam, Epic Games Store, and others directly on Xbox hardware. The Xbox app on Windows 11 has also been updated to aggregate games from multiple storefronts into a unified hub. This shift aims to create a more open, cross-device gaming ecosystem, including handhelds and living-room consoles, powered by AMD silicon and Windows 11.
