Get ready for an exciting new way to experience Xbox gaming! An Xbox Android app, with the ability to purchase and play games directly within the app, is reportedly launching as early as next month – November 2024.
The Details:
This development follows a recent court ruling in Google's antitrust battle with Epic Games. The ruling mandates that Google offer broader access to its app store, creating more flexibility and options for rival app stores like the upcoming Xbox app. This means Xbox players will soon be able to purchase and play games directly from the Android app, a significant upgrade from the current app's functionality.
What's Changing?
The existing Xbox Android app allows for game downloads to Xbox consoles and cloud gaming for Game Pass Ultimate subscribers. The November update will add the crucial feature of direct game purchases within the app itself.
While specifics are still under wraps until the official November launch, this new app promises a more streamlined and integrated Xbox gaming experience on Android devices. For more in-depth information, check out the CNBC article linked in the original text.
