Soon You Can Buy Xbox Games Right On Android Through The Xbox App!

Get ready for an exciting update! An Xbox Android app, boasting new features, is slated to launch as early as next month, November. This follows Xbox president Sarah Bond's earlier announcement of a mobile store in development.

The Details:

The app will allow Android users to purchase and play Xbox games directly through the app. This news was shared by Bond herself on X (formerly Twitter), highlighting how a recent court ruling will expand options and flexibility within the Google Play Store.

This ruling stems from Google's four-year antitrust battle with Epic Games. The court mandated that Google provide third-party app stores with access to its full app catalog and distribute these stores for three years (November 1st, 2024 to November 1st, 2027), unless developers opt out.

What's the Significance?

Currently, the existing Xbox Android app enables game downloads to Xbox consoles and cloud game streaming for Game Pass Ultimate subscribers. The November update introduces the key feature of in-app game purchasing.

While specifics remain to be seen, more details will emerge in November. For further information, consult the CNBC article mentioned.
