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.
Google has filed an appeal against a ruling by Judge Donato that requires the company to allow developers to list their own app stores within the Google Play Store. This ruling is a result of a lawsuit initiated by Epic Games in 2020. Currently, while Android users can access third-party app stores through sideloading, these options are not available directly via the Google Play Store. The ruling is set to take effect on November 1, 2024, and will remain in place until November 1, 2027. Google has expressed concerns about the potential risks to consumer privacy and security, as well as the impact on developers and competition.
Google has formally appealed a district court ruling in the case of Epic v. Google, which requires the company to allow third-party app stores on its Google Play platform and remove the obligation for apps to use Google’s billing system. The ruling, issued by Judge James Donato, will take effect on November 1, 2024, and remain in place until November 1, 2027. Google has raised concerns that these changes could harm consumer privacy and security, complicate app promotion, and reduce competition. Epic Games plans to introduce the Epic Games Store to Google Play in 2025, while Microsoft intends to allow purchases and gameplay through its Xbox Android app starting next month.
