And it is hosting live Age of Empires tournaments at select Microsoft retail stores starting on March 1.

The game is a remastered and remade version of the original Age of Empires and its Rise of Rome expansion pack. Microsoft announced today that Age of Empires: Definitive Edition is now available on Windows 10.
