Xbox Insiders, thanks so much for your feedback on the new Shopping Cart feature in the Store! We’ve heard your feedback and are now taking Shopping Cart offline to make fixes and improvements. Shopping Cart will return to the Store in the next few weeks.

The Shopping Cart feature is planned for rollout to Insiders in the Ship Ahead, Preview Alpha, and Preview Beta rings of the Xbox Insider Program, though it has also been spotted on Windows 10 devices outside of the Insiders build program. The capability allows users to access the items they have added to the cart through a new icon sitting next to the Search button.

Throughout the testing phase, several known issues with the Shopping Cart surfaced such as the discrepancies between the contents of the users" anonymous shopping carts once they toggle between "Do not track" and "Allow anonymous tracking" on PC. Xbox also had some issues with navigating carousels of products from the Cart page. Rossetti said the feature will return to the Xbox Store in the coming weeks once those and other issues are addressed.
