Get ready for an exciting November update for Xbox Android users! A new Xbox mobile app is on the horizon, potentially launching as early as next month, allowing direct game purchases and gameplay on Android devices.
The Details:
This announcement, shared by Xbox president Sarah Bond on X, comes on the heels of a significant court ruling in Google's antitrust battle with Epic Games. This ruling mandates that Google Play offer expanded options and flexibility to rival app stores for three years, starting November 1st, 2024. This opens the door for the new Xbox app.
What's New?
While an existing Xbox Android app allows game downloads to consoles and cloud gaming for Game Pass Ultimate subscribers, the November update will introduce the crucial ability to purchase games directly within the app itself.
The full scope of the new app's features will be revealed in November. For more in-depth information, check out the CNBC article (link not provided). In the meantime, stay tuned for our coverage of Solo Leveling: Arise's Autumn Update!
