Microsoft winded down the Movies & TV section of the Microsoft Store. Users will no longer be able to purchase movies and TV shows on both Windows PCs and Xbox consoles.
But all purchased films and TV shows will still be available for viewing through the Movies and TV app. Only the ability to purchase new content is closed. As an alternative, Microsoft recommends using third-party streaming services such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and others.Microsoft started offering media content in 2006 with the launch of Zune Marketplace. In 2012, it was replaced by Xbox Video as part of the Xbox entertainment ecosystem. Finally, In 2015, the service and application were renamed "Movies and TV".
Now, the support page on Microsoft's website states the following:
Important: Microsoft no longer offers new entertainment content for purchase, including movies and TV shows, on Microsoft.com, Microsoft Store on Windows, and the Microsoft Store on Xbox. However, you can continue to access your purchased content in the Movies & TV app on Xbox or Windows device.
