Microsoft has redesigned its Microsoft Store for Xbox from the ground up and is now releasing the new design via update, which was previously tested exclusively by Xbox Insider on Xbox One. It allows for "faster use" and is now even easier and more secure than ever before, says Microsoft.

Faster, safer and more intuitive

Already at the beginning of August this year, the new design of the Microsoft Store for Xbox Insider was rolled out on Xbox One. According to Microsoft, the new store will now score points with a start time of less than two seconds and thus be more than twice as fast as before. The performance of the browser and the integrated search should also have been improved. Overall, the new user interface should be "even more intuitive" and better than before.
