Xbox Game Pages


Xbox Games Product Page — Microsoft Store


 

ABOUT


As MicrosoftStore.com continued to evolve, it needed to find a way to deliver a premium online experience across a growing number of categories … and it was imperative that we reimagined the page layout for Xbox games.

STRATEGY


Create product pages that would delight customers and elevate the current layout. In order to achieve this, we added immersive background imagery, modules with increased storytelling, professional quotes, and Buy Box gallery.
