Games For Windows Marketplace — Relaunch On November 15 Includes New Features

Peter Orullian, Group product manager at Microsoft, said that Games for Windows Marketplace might feature more games. Reason being, Apple is planning to launch their own Mac-based Application Store which could possibly compete with Windows.

Alongside the games, Microsoft will offer a rating system, other pre-order incentives and a Deal of the Week idea similar to the one found on the Xbox 360 marketplace.

“Today you go on, and we have a website that talks about games, then we have a client,” said Orullian.

“Feedback we heard is that’s not always the easiest experience, so we’re bringing the transaction component right to the web. The client will still exist, but it’ll exist to manage really really large files that aren’t maybe so easily managed through the web, and it’ll be your transaction history; so if you need to re-download a game, you can go and do that.”

“But it’s not going to be necessary to go and look at and buy games.”
