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

by Christian Jan 18,2025

Get Ready for an Xbox Android App Launch!

Earlier this year, Xbox president Sarah Bond revealed plans for a mobile store. Now, it seems an Xbox Android app with exciting new features is almost here—potentially as early as next month!

The Inside Scoop

Reports suggest the app will arrive in November, allowing Android users to purchase and play games directly within the app. This news was shared by Sarah Bond on X (formerly Twitter), highlighting the impact of a recent court ruling that will expand options and flexibility on the Google Play Store.

This ruling concludes Google's four-year antitrust battle with Epic Games. The court mandated that Google provide third-party app stores with full access to its app catalog for three years (November 1st, 2024 to November 1st, 2027), unless individual developers opt out.

Why is the New Xbox App a Big Deal?

While an existing Xbox Android app enables game downloads to Xbox consoles and cloud streaming for Game Pass Ultimate subscribers, the November update introduces direct game purchasing within the app itself.

The full extent of the new app's features will be revealed in November. For more details, check out the CNBC article mentioned in the original text.
