Microsoft is rolling out a radical redesign of the web version of the Microsoft Store, heavily inspired by Windows 11.
The Fluent design overhaul brings the Microsoft Store website more in line with the look and feel of Windows 11. That means rounded corners, updated typography and new icons, but the app installation process has also been overhauled .

What’s a bit odd about the Microsoft Store redesign is that so little noise has been made about it by the company. And when we say “so little”, there’s really nothing to say – perhaps because it’s still currently classified as a preview.
It was left to Fire Cube to share news of the new look after it was spotted by a Twitter user Public Sapphire:
Navigation has been vastly improved in the redesign, and the relocated search bar makes it easier to use. It’s not just the store front that has been brought back to the drawing board; individual app listings have also been revamped.
The tabs are gone, and that’s something that many users probably won’t mourn. Importantly, in the design preview it is also possible to install apps directly from the online store without having to switch – or be switched – to the Microsoft Store app.
