The US technology firm is trying to bring a more interactive way to shop with its flagship store including a dedicated Gaming Lounge, giant video screens, a Selfie Zone and even the chance to drive a real McLaren Senna road car around the Forza McLaren Xbox experience.

Windows 10 fans will also find all the latest Microsoft products and accessories including Surface laptops, tablets plus there’s a chance to try out the new Mixed Reality HoloLens.

If gaming is your passion then there’s a whole area dedicated to the Xbox console with fans able to try out the latest titles or use the esports hub to take part in online competitions.

Microsoft is also boasting that gamers can try out the Thronos Gaming Chair which is the first in Europe.

This zone is also kitted out with customised controllers to help those with disabilities enjoy the latest blockbuster titles.

Along with retail and gaming areas Microsoft has also included an Answer Desk which it says will be a one-stop-shop for customers to get technical support, training, repairs and advice from trusted advisors on any Microsoft device or service.
