Le Progressive Web App rappresentano il nuovo passo avanti per standardizzare le app e i servizi web. Le app possono essere eseguite in diverse piattaforme in modo quasi nativo, possono funzionare anche offline e sono in grado di rispondere rapidamente, indipendentemente dalla latenza di rete. Le prime PWA sono disponibili nel Microsoft Store.
