Soon You Can Buy Xbox Games Right On Android Through The Xbox App!

Exciting news for Xbox fans! Xbox president Sarah Bond recently announced that a new Xbox mobile store is on the horizon, and it looks like we might see an Xbox Android app with special features as early as next month. Imagine being able to buy and play games directly from your Android device. That's right, starting in November, Xbox players will have this new capability at their fingertips. Sarah Bond shared this update on X, highlighting how a recent court ruling against Google will pave the way for more options and flexibility in the Google Play Store.

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 that Google must allow rival third-party app stores access to the full catalogue of Google Play apps and enable the distribution of these third-party stores for three years, from November 1st, 2024, to November 1st, 2027, unless developers opt out individually.

What's the Big Deal with the New Xbox App on Android?

Currently, the Xbox app on Android allows users to download games to their Xbox consoles and, for Game Pass Ultimate subscribers, stream games from the cloud. However, come November, you'll be able to purchase games directly through the app, enhancing your gaming experience on the go. We'll have a better understanding of what Xbox is offering with their new app once it launches next month. For more detailed information, you can check out this CNBC article.
