In that spirit, today we’re announcing another significant update to our Microsoft Store on Windows policies, which will allow third-party storefront apps to be discoverable in the Microsoft Store on Windows. For instance, the Microsoft Store on Windows no longer requires app developers to share revenue with Microsoft, when apps manage their own in-app payment systems. It’s also about making sure our business terms are fair and help promote innovation. Our commitment to being an ‘open Store for an open platform’ isn’t just about the various technical underpinnings of how apps are built. Now part of the Microsoft family, Clipchamp is a great example of what Windows developers can deliver using PWA as a foundation. Clipchamp, available for free on the Microsoft Store, is a video editor with a deep feature set and seamless web-sharing workflow. PWAs on Windows allow developers to bring the best of their web experiences even closer to their customers, for example by easy access in the taskbar or Start menu, icon notification badging, or matching the user preference on light/dark theme mode. Desktop productivity applications, like TeamViewer, Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, and LibreOffice, are also available for download and are joined by new additions from inside Microsoft, like Microsoft PowerToys, Visual Studio Code, and Visual Studio Community.įurthermore, several high-quality Progressive Web Apps (PWA) are also now available in the Microsoft Store on Windows, including Reddit, Wikipedia, TikTok, Lyft, Quizlet and Tumblr. An initial wave of new desktop apps that you can try today on the Windows 11 Insider Preview includes communication platforms like Discord, Zoom Cloud Meetings, and KakaoTalk, and creativity-focused tools such as Luminar AI, Music Maker, and VLC. Since June, hundreds of app developers have registered to our preview program to bring their desktop apps onboard. Opening to more appsĭevelopers told us they love not having to re-write their existing desktop apps or change their business models in order to be part of the Microsoft Store on Windows. Today, we would like to recognize some of the new apps that are now available in the Microsoft Store and share some updates to our policies for third-party stores. It will also be available to Windows 10 customers in the coming months.Īs we continue our journey, we are grateful for the response from the app developer ecosystem, and we will continue to listen to their feedback. The new Microsoft Store will launch to the public alongside Windows 11 on October 5 th. We also opened up the Microsoft Store on Windows to developers using different types of frameworks, packaging technologies, and commerce platforms – in alignment with our commitment to choice, fairness, and innovation. In June, we introduced the new Microsoft Store on Windows, redesigned from the ground up to meet the needs of customers across a variety of app experiences.
