Get ready for a new Xbox experience on Android! An Xbox mobile app, allowing direct game purchases and gameplay, is reportedly launching as early as next month, November 2024.
The Details:
This exciting development follows a recent court ruling in Google's antitrust battle with Epic Games. The ruling mandates Google to offer broader app store options and increased flexibility, paving the way for the new Xbox app. Xbox president Sarah Bond announced the upcoming app on X (formerly Twitter), highlighting the increased choices this ruling provides.
What's New?
While an existing Xbox Android app allows game downloads to consoles and cloud streaming for Game Pass Ultimate subscribers, the November update will introduce the key feature of in-app game purchasing. This will significantly enhance the Android gaming experience for Xbox users.
Further specifics on the app's features will be revealed in November. For a more in-depth analysis, check out the CNBC article mentioned in the original piece.
