This Microsoft Store update will let you save 100GB of space for games with a couple clicks

Microsoft Store.

The Microsoft Store on Windows 11 will soon have a new feature that helps you reduce how much space games take up on your PC. Alongside the announcement of Windows 11 Build 27788, which includes a clone of Apple's Handoff feature, Microsoft announced a new feature for the Microsoft Store that lets you install individual components for some games.

The feature allows you to install specific parts of games, such as high-resolution textures. Alternatively, you can choose to not install components, reducing the amount of space a game takes up on your PC. The feature works as you install games and can be used to pick which parts of a game are on your system later.
