Read Also: How to Change Windows 8.1 Sign-in Options Also, right before the rating stars, we can see the same icon, depicting what seems to be a tablet, and a smartphone, obviously. So, to put it in other words for those who aren’t yet acquainted with the term of “universal apps”, if you will buy a game on Windows 8, you will allegedly be able to use it on your Windows Phone smartphone, as well. However, most likely, not all of the apps, and especially games, will work and that’s why Microsoft has intelligently put “compatible” there. The reason for that is that the apps that you will find on the Windows Store are built exclusively for Windows 8 devices – computers, laptops and tablets, touch or desktop. But this will change for future apps, if developers will make use of new dev tools which Microsoft has put at their disposal, to build an app which will be easily downloaded and installed on your Windows Phone smartphone. And it makes sense, since this is part of Microsoft’s vision of unifying the operating systems. Furthermore, it will be a great move to please consumers, because if you will have paid a few good bucks for a Windows 8 game, you definitely don’t want to pay again for the Windows Phone version.
