In this week’s roundup, we delve into the latest offerings for Windows 10 and 11, showcasing a selection of noteworthy apps, games, and extensions that have graced the Microsoft Store and beyond in the past seven days.
In a recent development, Microsoft has decided to remove the Actions feature from the Microsoft Store. Initially introduced as a means to replicate the instant gaming capabilities found in mobile operating systems, Actions allowed users to engage with certain games directly without the need for installation. Despite its potential, the feature has now been discontinued, with no official explanation provided. Observers note that developer interest may have been tepid, contributing to its swift exit from the marketplace.
As always, your insights are invaluable. If there’s an app or game released this week that you believe deserves a mention, please share your thoughts in the comments or reach out via email.
