Get ready for an exciting new way to play Xbox games! 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 news comes directly from Xbox president Sarah Bond, via a post on X (formerly Twitter). The app's imminent release is largely due to a recent court ruling in Google's antitrust battle with Epic Games. This ruling mandates that Google Play must offer increased flexibility and a wider selection of app stores for three years, starting November 1st, 2024.
What Makes This App Different?
While an existing Xbox Android app allows game downloads to consoles and cloud streaming for Game Pass Ultimate subscribers, the new app will add the crucial feature of in-app game purchases.
We'll know more specifics about the app's features in November. For further details, check out the CNBC article mentioned in the original source.
