Following yesterday’s Windows 11 reveal event, Microsoft has now confirmed that developers can keep the entirety of all revenue generated from the Microsoft Store with a glaring exception of games.
Speaking with The Verge, Microsoft confirmed that developers can keep all of the revenue generated through its app store and in-app purchases which can be completed either through the app itself or through the Microsoft store.
Forgoing any and all revenue share from in-app purchases is in stark contrast to Apple’s policies with its iOS platform.
Revenue cut is something that Epic Games and Valve have been competing on the basis of for some time now.
