The Xbox app store is set to soft launch on Android in November, allowing players to play and purchase Xbox games directly from the Xbox App. This development follows a court ruling requiring Google to open its mobile store in the US, which Xbox President Sarah Bond highlighted as significant for increasing choice and flexibility. The initial announcement of the app store was made in May, with expectations for it to feature popular titles like Candy Crush and Minecraft. However, details about the launch have been limited, and there has been a slowdown in communication regarding its progress since the missed July launch window.
