New Microsoft Store Options Rolling Out To Xbox Insiders

Be nice to sort games by price or release date because sometimes I like to look and go through the games on the store and see what stands out to me but there’s not much options to help with searching on the store.

The PS5 does that when you add a game to the wishlist. It will notify you when it’s on sale. So i am happy to see it come to Xbox Store, seeing as i buy 95% of my 3rd party games on Xbox due to liking the controller and UI better than PS4 and PS5.

"What's on your wish list?"

Updated/corrected feature tags and the ability to properly view all games with any particular tag. For example a number of games that support local multiplayer don't have the relevant tag applied to their store listing and filtering store listings by that tag only produces a partial list of all the entries with that tag actually applied anyhow. It's frustrating and costs both Microsoft and third-party developers sales.

As someone that has approaching 800 Xbox One and Series games, the thing I am desperate for is the option to stop seeing games that I already own in the store. So, sometimes there will be 600 games on sale, but I will already own a third of them. Trawling through games I already own is a pain. The same applies for when I buy the top edition of a game, why then do I need to see every other iteration of the game when looking through the sales? If I already own the Deluxe version, I'm hardly likely to want to buy an inferior version of the game, am I? Surely it isn't beyond the wit of those that run the Store to implement something that prevents me seeing games I clearly won't want to buy? Obviously there might be a rare occasion when someone might wish to buy a duplicate game for a friend of family member, but if someone wanted to do that, they would most likely already have a game in mind. Come on, get it s(t)orted...

I hope they eventually add an option to only check certain games for sale notifications, just to weed out the games that go on sale as often as they're full price.
