Buy Xbox Games on Android via Xbox App Soon!

Exciting news for Xbox enthusiasts! Xbox president Sarah Bond recently announced that a new Xbox mobile store is on the horizon, and it seems we won't have to wait long. An Xbox Android app with special features is set to launch as early as next month, which is sure to thrill gamers everywhere.

What’s The Full Scoop?

The Xbox mobile app is slated to hit Android devices in November. This new app will allow Xbox players to buy and play games directly from their smartphones. Sarah Bond shared this exciting update on X, highlighting how a recent court ruling will enhance the Google Play Store's offerings and flexibility.

For those who might not be aware, this development stems from Google's four-year antitrust battle with Epic Games. The court's decision mandates Google to open up its full catalogue of Google Play apps to rival third-party app stores and allow the distribution of these stores for three years, starting November 1st, 2024, and ending November 1st, 2027, unless individual developers opt out.

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

Currently, the existing Xbox app on Android enables users to download games to their Xbox consoles and stream games from the cloud if they have a Game Pass Ultimate subscription. However, come November, the new app will revolutionize the experience by allowing direct game purchases within the app itself.

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.
