Merge Bistro Receives Global Spotlight Feature on Microsoft Store Games Homepage

Effective August 14 and still running, Merge Bistro: Cooking & Design Stories has earned the front‑page Spotlight slot on Microsoft Store global games channel. We sincerely appreciate the recognition and support from Microsoft’s editorial team.

This marks Merge Bistro’s second Spotlight feature. Combined with the curated Events placement from last week, the title now holds two official featured slots simultaneously on Microsoft Store global games homepage.

Developed with Cocos Creator 3.8 and published via Microsoft GDK by Bigfishcube, Merge Bistro blends merge puzzle, restaurant management and home decoration. With deep gameplay loops and high production quality, it delivers nearly 60% day‑2 retention, targeting top‑tier position within merge genre on Microsoft Store. This dual homepage featuring validates product quality as well as the PC‑market potential for this category.

Publishing on Microsoft Ecosystem: Beyond One‑Shot Traffic, Build Long‑Term Game Assets

Spotlight is one of Microsoft Store’s highest‑impact exposure assets, which drives immediate download spikes. Nevertheless, Bigfishcube’s publishing philosophy goes far beyond one‑time featuring. We focus on long‑term live‑ops: refined ASO, regular content updates, alignment with official events & sales campaigns. Our goal is to convert short‑term visibility into durable long‑tail traffic and build revenue‑generating game assets inside Microsoft Store.

Top‑Tier Official Resources & Developer Partnership

Top‑tier official resources: In July 2024, Bigfishcube obtained Microsoft official global independent brand zone — Bigfishcube Club, becoming the 8th publisher worldwide awarded this elite qualification. Benefiting from standalone entry, dedicated brand page and permanent showcase slots, we continuously pursue Spotlight, curated Events and sale placements for partner titles.
