Microsoft has announced that it will merge Games for Windows with Xbox.com on July 11th. According to the site, “Games for Windows Marketplace will fully transition over to Xbox.com. Now you can get all of your gaming needs in one place. It’s convenient, it’s concentrated, and it’s a whole lot of great games.” The digital download service for PC titles will now be located within the Xbox site.
Speaking to Eurogamer, a Microsoft representative had this to say about the move: “All of the same content from GamesForWindows.com will be available on Xbox.com so members of communities across Xbox 360 and Games for Windows can purchase and get details on their favorite games, all in one place.” Continuing, the rep explained that “All account information will remain the same and community members can still take advantage of their Xbox Live profile in their Windows games and stay connected to friends who are playing on the PC.”
