Microsoft has added a new option to the Microsoft Store, allowing users to play games without downloading and installing them on their Windows 11 PC. The Collection/Arcade section in the Microsoft Store lets you play several free, fun games without installing them on the computer. Because these games do not require installation, they will save storage space and system resources.
Microsoft Store has a Gaming section with a wide variety of games. However, there was no preview for the game. Users need to download and install them on their computers to play. But now you can play many fun games directly on Windows 11 from the Microsoft Store app. One of the best things about these games is that they are easy to play. There are no complicated setup procedures or lengthy downloads required.
Microsoft partnered with multiple game developers to bring these easy-to-play fun games. As of this writing, there are 69 games that you can play without installation. The list may expand in the future. This ease of access will make these games incredibly popular with casual gamers who want a quick and easy way to enjoy their leisure time.
