Get ready for a new Xbox Android app, launching as early as next month! Xbox President Sarah Bond recently announced the upcoming app, allowing Android users to purchase and play Xbox games directly through the app.
The Details:
This exciting development is reportedly tied to the recent court ruling in Google's antitrust battle with Epic Games. The ruling mandates that Google offer broader access to its app catalog and allow third-party app stores for three years, creating increased flexibility and options for developers. The Xbox app is expected to be available in November.
What's New?
While an existing Xbox app allows game downloads to consoles and cloud streaming for Game Pass Ultimate subscribers, the November update adds the crucial feature of direct game purchases within the app itself.
More specifics will be revealed in November, but this change significantly expands Android users' access to the Xbox ecosystem. For further details, check out the CNBC article mentioned in the original piece.
