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

An Xbox Android app with exciting new features is on the horizon, potentially launching as early as next month! Xbox president Sarah Bond recently confirmed this development on X, highlighting the impact of a recent court ruling that will significantly broaden the options available on the Google Play Store.

The Details:

The new Xbox mobile app, slated for a November release, will allow Android users to purchase and play games directly within the app. This development follows Google's four-year antitrust battle with Epic Games, culminating in a court order mandating Google to provide third-party app stores with full access to its app catalog for three years (November 1st, 2024 to November 1st, 2027).

What Makes This App Different?

While a current Xbox Android app exists, enabling game downloads to Xbox consoles and cloud gaming for Game Pass Ultimate subscribers, the November release will introduce the crucial ability to directly purchase games through the app itself.

Further details will be revealed in November. For more in-depth information, refer to this CNBC article. In the meantime, check out our article covering the Autumn Update for Solo Leveling: Arise.
