It was initially planned to be released on October 19, 2017, but was delayed until February 20, 2018. Development of the game was handled in partnership with Forgotten Empires and Tantalus Media. Age of Empires: Definitive Edition was released at first exclusively through the Windows Store and met with mixed or average reviews, with a weighted score of 70 out of 100 in Metacritic. PC Gamer gave the game 60/100, calling the game "solid remake of a game past its time". GameSpot gave the game 6/10, praising its 4K graphics and upgraded soundtrack, but criticizing old problems still persisting. In May 2019, Phil Spencer, head executive of Microsoft's Xbox division announced to reverse the decision on releasing Age of Empires products exclusively through Windows Store and committed to releasing them on Steam as well.

Existing Windows Store players need to manually download the new client in order to receive game updates and multiplayer compatibility.
