Xbox Games Now Available Directly on Android via Xbox App

Get ready for an exciting development in mobile gaming! Xbox is launching a new Android app, potentially as early as next month (November), allowing users to purchase and play games directly from their Android devices.

The Details:

Xbox president Sarah Bond recently announced this upcoming app on X (formerly Twitter), 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 choices and increased flexibility for developers. This opens the door for the new Xbox app to offer a direct purchasing option.

What's Different?

The current Android Xbox app lets users download games to their Xbox consoles and stream games via Game Pass Ultimate. The November release will add the crucial feature of direct game purchases within the app itself.

While specifics are still under wraps until November, this development promises a more streamlined and convenient gaming experience for Android users. For more in-depth information, check out the CNBC article mentioned in the original piece.
