Microsoft just went all-in on PC gaming with a blog post penned by none other than Phil Spencer, Head of Xbox division. You will surely remember his repeated statements that Microsoft would learn from its past mistakes with PC gaming and today, he certainly made good on those promises.

The biggest news is that Microsoft’s games will now be published on Steam as well, starting with Gears 5 later this year, which means gamers won’t be forced to go with the less-than-ideal Microsoft Store. Another controversial facet of the store is that it had been so far limited to the oft-criticized Universal Windows Platform, and Spencer also revealed games on the Microsoft Store will now support the Win32 format as well.
