Microsoft is waiting for Google to resolve legal proceedings before rolling out the capability of facilitating direct purchases and playing for games from the Xbox app on Android.
Microsoft will enable direct purchases and gameplay of Xbox titles through its Xbox App on Android devices starting in November. This decision follows a U.S. court ruling that requires Google to allow alternative payment methods, giving developers more flexibility and potentially lowering transaction fees. The integration of direct purchases aims to enhance user experience and accessibility for gamers, allowing them to buy Xbox games directly from the app.
