There are two ways to purchase Microsoft games. You may purchase from the Windows Store or through the online Microsoft Store. Refer to the steps below:

From the Windows Store:

• Select Store on your taskbar, or select Start, and on the apps list select
  Store.
  
• Click the user icon beside the search box and sign in with your Microsoft account.
• Select the Games tab. You'll see here all the available games published by Microsoft.

You may purchase games through the online Microsoft Store by visiting this

microsoft store-games

Hello vasilisnikolo,

Actually, I may suggest that you if purchase games try to buy it from Epic games or Steam because those sites provide very good discounts and you could save money. Cons is that some games are not available in those platforms and only in Microsoft Store.

May I know what particular games are you trying to purchase? So I could assist you where to buy the games.

The official store for Microsoft apps purchase is from the Microsoft Store directly.

Hope that helps! Please let me know if you have other concerns.
