Microsoft Accuses Apple of Blocking Xbox Cloud Gaming
News summary

Microsoft has accused Apple of blocking its Xbox Cloud Gaming app from the App Store, claiming that recent guideline changes are insufficient to allow for its launch. The tech giant argues that Apple's App Store policies still impose significant barriers, such as requiring in-app purchases that result in a 30% commission, making it economically unfeasible for Microsoft to monetize its cloud gaming service. In a letter to the UK's Competition and Markets Authority, Microsoft emphasized that while Apple has made some changes, the remaining restrictions hinder the viability of cloud gaming apps. Apple's response highlights that other apps have successfully navigated the new guidelines, yet Microsoft contends that these apps do not face the same challenges as Xbox Cloud Gaming. The ongoing dispute reflects broader tensions between the two companies regarding App Store regulations and the future of cloud gaming on iOS. As the situation evolves, both companies continue to seek resolutions amid increasing regulatory scrutiny.
