Get Ready for an Xbox Android App with Game Purchases! An Xbox mobile store is on the horizon, and it seems we'll have a feature-rich Xbox Android app as early as next month – November!
The Details:
An Xbox app allowing direct game purchases on Android is reportedly launching in November. This news, shared by Xbox president Sarah Bond on X (formerly Twitter), is a direct result of the recent court ruling in Google's antitrust battle with Epic Games. This ruling mandates Google Play offer more app store options and flexibility for three years (November 1st, 2024 to November 1st, 2027), unless developers opt out.
Why is this a big deal?
The current Android Xbox app lets you manage your Xbox console games and stream Game Pass Ultimate titles. The November update adds the crucial ability to directly buy games within the app itself.
We'll have a clearer understanding of the app's full features in November. For more information, check out the CNBC article mentioned in the original text.
