Microsoft Store Spotlight Case Study: Supermarket Stories Achieves 1000%+ Download Growth and Doubled Conversion Rate

Recently, Supermarket Stories: Merge & Manage, published by Bigfishcube, was featured on the Microsoft Store global game channel homepage (Microsoft Store Spotlight). During the multi-day feature period, the game experienced a substantial performance boost.

During the Spotlight window, daily downloads increased by approximately 10–15 times (1000%–1500%), with average daily page views reaching around 2,500. At the same time, conversion rate improved from a typical ~6% to approximately ~12%, demonstrating a strong uplift in efficiency.

This performance was not solely driven by increased exposure from the feature placement, but also by Bigfishcube’s long-term expertise in Microsoft Store ASO optimization. Through continuous refinement of product titles, keyword targeting, visual assets, and page structure, the game maintained strong conversion performance even under high-traffic conditions.

Supermarket Stories: Merge & Manage is a story-driven merge and management game where players rebuild a supermarket while uncovering a narrative centered on family, secrets, and personal growth. The game’s theme and gameplay are well-suited for Western audiences and long-term engagement.
