Microsoft will update its Xbox Android app to allow users to buy and play games directly from the app starting in November, following a US court ruling against Google. This decision results from a lawsuit in which a judge ruled that Google must open its app store to rival billing systems, granting more flexibility to Android users. Microsoft aims to capitalize on this ruling to increase its presence in mobile gaming without sharing in-app purchase revenue with Google. Google plans to appeal the decision, but Microsoft is already prepared to implement the changes. Alongside this update, Microsoft is developing a browser-based mobile game store to showcase its first-party games. This move aligns with Microsoft's broader strategy of expanding its gaming ecosystem across more devices.
