Microsoft Windows store is now open to third-party app stores

Microsoft is opening up its own app store in Windows, inviting third-party app stores to integrate into the Microsoft Store.

According to The Verge, it’s a significant change that will see both Amazon and Epic Games Store discoverable in the Microsoft Store in the coming months.

“Just like any other app, third-party storefront apps will have a product detail page — which can be found via search or by browsing — so that users can easily find and install it with the same confidence as any other app in the Microsoft Store on Windows,” Giorgio Sardo, general manager of the Microsoft Store, was quoted by the website.
