Questions about uploading from the Microsoft Store

Question

Microsoft Store upload process

Our game is a win32 program, and the msix package is made through a desktop bridge. Our game is more than 25g in size, and there are the following questions:

1. Can the upload only be in msix package format?
2. Can I upload only the difference content to be updated?
3. Is there any way to exceed 25g?
4. When the player is updating, is it the whole package update or the differential update?

Please give me a clear answer or document link. There are 2 reasons: 1 is that it takes 24 hours to communicate back and forth (I go to work and you sleep zzz...), and the other is that you are not proficient in English and it is difficult to find what you want. Answer. Hope to understand, thank you!

微软商店上传流程

我们的游戏是win32程序, 通过桌面桥做成msix包, 我们的游戏超过25g的大小, 有如下疑问:

1. 请问上传只能是msix包格式吗?
2. 可以只上传要更新的差异内容吗?
3. 超过25g有什么办法吗?
4. 玩家在更新的时候,是整包更新还是差异更新?

请给我明确的答案或者文档连接, 有2个原因:1个是一来一回的沟通要24h(我上班你们睡觉zzz...),一个是英文不熟练,很难找到自己想要的答案. 希望理解,谢谢!

Answer 1

Hello,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

Can the upload only be in msix package format?

The Packages page page of the app submission process is where you upload all of the package files (.msix, .msixupload, .msixbundle, .appx, .appxupload, and/or .appxbundle) for the app that you're submitting. Please check: Upload app packages.

Can I upload only the difference content to be updated?

No, you can't

Is there any way to exceed 25g?

No, currently, the store won't accept apps bigger than 25g. Please check: Package format requirements

When the player is updating, is it the whole package update or the differential update?

It is whole package update.

Thank you.
