Microsoft have an Android Xbox Store ‘ready to go’, but say they can’t go live yet

Xbox Mobile Store Delayed on Android

Back in May, President of Xbox Sarah Bond announced that an Android Xbox Store would be launching in July. However, the launch has been delayed, with only a placeholder appearing on Xbox.com in July.

Today, Sarah Bond provided more information on the delay, citing a temporary administrative stay granted by the courts. Microsoft is ready to launch the features as soon as the court makes a final decision.

Google has disagreed with Microsoft’s claims, stating that Microsoft could offer Xbox games on their app but has chosen not to. Google is focused on providing a safe and secure experience for users.

Microsoft is waiting for the court order to take effect before launching the Xbox mobile Store on Android. The delay is likely due to concerns about giving a portion of sales to Android platform makers.

For now, gamers will have to wait and see how the situation unfolds. Are you excited about the prospect of an Xbox store for mobile devices? Share your thoughts in our forums or community Discord!
