Get ready for an exciting update from Xbox! A new Android app is on the horizon, potentially launching as early as next month (November). This isn't just any app; it will allow Android users to purchase and play Xbox games directly within the app.
The Details:
Xbox president Sarah Bond recently announced this development on X (formerly Twitter), highlighting the impact of the recent court ruling in Google's antitrust battle with Epic Games. This ruling mandates Google Play Store to offer broader app store options and increased flexibility for third-party stores. This opens the door for the new Xbox app to offer direct game purchases.
What's Different?
While an existing Xbox Android app lets you manage your Xbox console and stream Game Pass Ultimate titles, the November update introduces the key feature of in-app game purchases.
More specific details will be revealed in November, but for now, you can find more information in this CNBC article (link not provided as it's not included in the original text). Until then, check out our coverage of Solo Leveling: Arise's Autumn Update.
