New Apps, Games and Music hitting the Windows Store

Written By published June 15, 2016



It’s been a busy few months for the Windows Store. We’ve welcomed all new apps built on the Universal Windows Platform from Bank of America, Facebook and Instagram. We’ve also seen big name Xbox titles come to the Windows Store like Gears of War: Ultimate Edition for Windows 10, Quantum Break and Killer Instinct: Season 3. And we unveiled some great updates and content at E3 this week, but we’re far from done! We’re excited to announce great new content coming to the Store available today, including apps from ExpediaMyUSPS, and The Weather Channel.

Here’s a look at some recent additions to the Windows Store.
