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

Exciting news for Xbox gamers! An Xbox Android app with game purchasing capabilities is on the horizon, potentially launching as early as next month.

The Details:

An Xbox mobile app, allowing Android users to directly buy and play games, is reportedly slated for a November release. This announcement, shared on X by Xbox president Sarah Bond, leverages a recent court ruling in Google's antitrust battle with Epic Games. This ruling mandates Google Play Store to offer increased flexibility and a wider selection of app stores for three years, starting November 1st, 2024.

What's the Significance?

While an existing Xbox Android app allows for game downloads to consoles and cloud streaming (for Game Pass Ultimate subscribers), the November update introduces in-app game purchases. The full extent of the app's features will be revealed in November. For more details, check out the CNBC article linked in the original source.
