Excitement is building as Xbox President Sarah Bond has announced the upcoming launch of an Xbox mobile store, with a new Xbox Android app set to debut as early as next month. This development is poised to revolutionize how Xbox players engage with their favorite games on mobile devices.
The eagerly anticipated Xbox mobile app is slated for release in November, allowing Xbox enthusiasts to purchase and play games directly from their Android devices. Sarah Bond made this announcement on X, highlighting how a recent court ruling in Google's antitrust battle with Epic Games will lead to more diverse options and flexibility within the Google Play Store.
The court's decision, stemming from a four-year legal tussle, mandates Google to open its full catalogue to rival third-party app stores and enable their distribution for three years, starting November 1st, 2024, and ending November 1st, 2027, unless individual developers opt out.
Currently, the existing Xbox app on Android facilitates game downloads to Xbox consoles and cloud streaming for Game Pass Ultimate subscribers. However, the new app set to launch in November will empower users to directly purchase games from their mobile devices, enhancing the gaming experience on the go.
