Microsoft to start selling Xbox games through its own mobile app on Android

Microsoft will soon allow mobile gamers to access Xbox games on their Android smartphones directly through the Xbox mobile app. Xbox president Sarah Bond announced the change on X (formerly Twitter), noting that this development follows a US court ruling to open Google’s mobile store.

“The court’s ruling to open up Google’s mobile store in the US will allow more choice and flexibility,” said Bond. “Our mission is to allow more players to play on more devices, so we are thrilled to share that starting in November, players will be able to play and purchase Xbox games directly from the Xbox app on Android.”
