Xbox’s plan to see games via Android app delayed by court order

Microsoft's initiative to enable Android users to purchase and play console games through the Xbox app is currently delayed due to a "temporary administrative stay" from the courts, linked to the ongoing legal dispute between Google and Epic Games. Xbox president Sarah Bond indicated that the feature was expected to launch in November for Android devices in the U.S., but the legal situation has hindered this rollout. The delay follows a favorable jury verdict for Epic Games, which led to a court order requiring Google to open its marketplace and eliminate its billing requirements, set to take effect on November 1. However, Google has appealed and received a stay on these changes. Google spokesperson Dan Jackson claimed that Microsoft has always had the ability to offer this functionality but chose not to, citing security concerns over a rushed implementation. Despite the setback, Microsoft is continuing to expand its mobile offerings, including a beta for game streaming on various devices and plans for a dedicated mobile store, which has been postponed for further research.
