As we noted back on Monday, Microsoft has begun rolling out the brand-new Xbox Store to Insiders over the past week, with the final version set to be released publicly for the Xbox Series X's launch this Holiday.
And based on early reports, its early preview version already looks to be a significant upgrade over the current store. Windows Central's Jez Corden was one of the lucky few to be selected for the first preview, and shared a look at its lightning fast navigation and impressive responsiveness on Twitter:

We're assuming Jez is running the new store on an Xbox One X, but numerous reports have also suggested it's running very well on the Xbox One S and even the original Xbox One, so it looks like we can be prepared for a much smoother Microsoft Store experience on all consoles when it officially arrives later this year.
Excited for the new Microsoft Store? Have you been able to try it yet? Let us know in the comments.

I'm alpha skip ahead but the new store isn't available in France yet 😭
I hope soon 🙏🏻
2s is blazing fast considering it’s running on Xbox One.
This is big because the current Xbox store is a slow, clunky mess.
New dashboard looks amazing..
I like the clicking sound, but the weird navigation one needs to change. Looks nice and clean.
The new store looks solid, and a lot more like Sony's - although thankfully, it looks a lot faster now.
What I can't see yet, however: where are the trailers?
I've got the new store update on my OneX but it doesn't have the DLC or subscription options under the game tab - I am unable to see or purchase any DLC and all the tabs lag until the video clip preview loads in and there is no sound
Dont know if different preview rings got different versions of the new store
