In collaboration with Microsoft, Amazon has announcement the general availability of its AppStore on Windows 11 for all developers. This means more apps and games are coming to Windows 11 as Amazon developers can now easily access the AppStore for Windows and bring their Amazon Store apps to Microsoft’s platform.

Notably, Android apps and games like Audible, TikTok, Lords Mobile, Hungry Shark Evolution, and Epic Seven have expanded their user base by bringing their games to PC without creating a separate Windows app. For example, Epic Seven extended its app reach with the Amazon Appstore on Windows 11, increasing its revenue and improving its customers’ gaming experience.

To port their Android apps to Windows 11, developers are encouraged to test their app on a Windows 11 device with at least 8GB of RAM. Once these minimum requirements are met, developers can download the WSA from the Microsoft Store, automatically installing the Amazon Appstore.
