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

Earlier this year, Xbox president Sarah Bond announced the development of a mobile store, and now it seems we're on the brink of something even more exciting—an Xbox Android app with exclusive features, possibly launching as early as next month. This news is sure to thrill Xbox enthusiasts everywhere!

What's The Full Scoop?

The eagerly awaited Xbox mobile app is set to launch in November, allowing Xbox players to purchase and play games directly from their Android devices. Sarah Bond shared this exciting update on X, highlighting how a recent court ruling will expand the Google Play Store's offerings and enhance user flexibility.

This development stems from Google's four-year antitrust battle with Epic Games. The court has mandated that Google must grant rival third-party app stores access to its full catalogue of apps and enable the distribution of these third-party stores from November 1st, 2024, to November 1st, 2027, unless individual developers opt out.

So, What's The Big Deal With The New Xbox App On Android?

Currently, the Xbox app on Android allows users to download games to their Xbox consoles and stream games from the cloud if they have Game Pass Ultimate. However, starting in November, users will have the added convenience of purchasing games directly through the app.

We'll have a better understanding of what Xbox has in store with their new app once November rolls around. For more detailed information, you can check out this CNBC article.
