This November, get ready for a game-changing update: an enhanced Xbox Android app! Xbox president Sarah Bond recently announced the app's imminent arrival, potentially as early as next month. This isn't just another app; it's a game-changer.
What's New?
The updated Xbox mobile app will allow Android users to purchase and play games directly within the app. This exciting development follows a significant court ruling in Google's antitrust battle with Epic Games. The ruling mandates that Google Play must offer broader app store choices and increased flexibility for a period of three years (November 1st, 2024 to November 1st, 2027), unless developers opt out.
Why is this a big deal?
Currently, the existing Xbox Android app enables game downloads to Xbox consoles and cloud gaming for Game Pass Ultimate subscribers. The November update adds the crucial ability to directly purchase games via the app itself.
While complete details remain under wraps until its official release, this development promises a more streamlined and integrated gaming experience for Android users. For more in-depth information, check out the CNBC article linked above.
