Xbox App Integrates Direct Game Purchase from Android

by Aurora Dec 25,2024

Get ready for an exciting Xbox mobile experience! An updated Xbox Android app, launching as early as next month (November), will allow direct game purchases and gameplay.

The Details:

Xbox President Sarah Bond recently announced this development on X, highlighting the impact of the recent court ruling in Google's antitrust case with Epic Games. This ruling mandates Google Play Store to offer broader app store options and increased flexibility for a three-year period (November 1st, 2024 to November 1st, 2027).

What's New?

While a current Android Xbox app allows console game downloads and cloud game streaming (for Game Pass Ultimate subscribers), the November update introduces the ability to purchase games directly within the app. More details will be revealed in November.
