New Windows apps and games

Multiple displays are not supported in the initial version but the developers promise that the feature will be added in a future update.
Microsoft's latest Windows 10 game falls into the endless running category. Microsoft picked a football theme for the game and puts you in control of football players such as JuJu Smith-Schuster, Von Miller and Travis Kelce.
The game itself follows the usual rules of endless running games: run as long as you can, evade obstacles placed on the map and try to collect as many footballs and other items as possible while doing so.
It is a simple game designed to promote Microsoft Surface devices.
X Djing is an app for DJs. It may be used to mix music, set loops, and use audio effects. The initial version comes with eight audio effects, a 3-band equalizer, 4 hot cue points, and automatic beat-matching and syncing support.
