Xbox will sell games directly from your application on Android

Microsoft plans to update your Xbox mobile application for Android, allowing users in the United States to buy and play Xbox games on their devices next month. The information comes from the penis.

This occurs after a judicial decision which obliges Google to no longer demand the use of Google Play for this type of purchase from November 1.

Sarah Bond, president of Xbox, commented in an X post that this decision will open the Google store for more competition, offering more options to developers.

From November, players will be able to buy games directly from the Xbox application on Android, which represents a significant change, because Microsoft did not have this functionality before.
