Buy Xbox Games on Android via Xbox App Soon!

Exciting news for Xbox fans! Xbox president Sarah Bond has announced that a new Xbox mobile store is on the horizon, and it looks like an Xbox Android app with special features could launch as early as next month. This development promises to bring a fresh wave of excitement to the gaming community.

What’s The Full Scoop?

The eagerly anticipated Xbox mobile app is set to launch in November. This app will allow Xbox players to purchase and play games directly from their Android devices. Sarah Bond shared this update on X, highlighting how a recent court ruling against Google will now force the Google Play Store to offer more options and flexibility to users.

For those not in the loop, this court ruling stems from Google's four-year antitrust battle with Epic Games. The decision mandates that Google must provide rival third-party app stores access to the full catalogue of Google Play apps and allow distribution of third-party stores for three years, from November 1st, 2024, to November 1st, 2027, unless developers opt out individually.

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

Currently, the existing 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 ability to directly purchase games through the app, enhancing the mobile gaming experience significantly.

We'll gain a more detailed understanding of what Xbox has in store with their new app as November approaches. For more in-depth information, you can check out this CNBC article.
