Xbox games will soon be able to be purchased via the Android app.

Android users may now play Xbox games, something that has likely been anticipated for some time. Xbox games will soon be available for purchase straight from the Android Xbox app. On October 10, Microsoft's Xbox President Sarah Bond announced the impending X update, stating that the goal of Xbox is to "allow more players to play on more devices." This has been the situation for a number of years, and it is consistent with what Microsoft's Head of Gaming, Phil Spencer, has said. He has stated on numerous occasions that Xbox wants to make games accessible to as many people as possible on as many platforms.

That's the main reason Microsoft started working on the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate cloud gaming function and eventually launched it. in order for gamers to be able to play their preferred games on any device. That goal has remained mostly unchanged. However, why did Xbox take so long to approve in-app purchases for games?

It may be related to the way Google operates the Android Play Store. Google takes a percentage of the money from each purchase made via an app. That will, however, be altering in light of Epic's significant legal victory over Google. Judge James Donato declared Google's Play Store to be a monopoly in December of last year.

Furthermore, Donato's ultimate decision this week mandated that Google permit third-party app stores inside the Play Store. Google can no longer require developers to use Google Play billing, according to a portion of that verdict. This is where the Xbox team's and Microsoft's change comes in.

Beginning in November, Android users can purchase Xbox titles using the app.

Microsoft will likely sell games to customers directly through its own billing system now that it is not compelled to use Google Play billing. In November, the feature will be available on the Xbox app. Bond omitted to mention the precise release date of the film, though.

However, October is about halfway over, so it won't be too long.

Without a doubt, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate will be necessary.

You must have an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate membership in order to stream games using the Game Pass app. Therefore, it makes sense to presume that in order to stream games from the Xbox app after purchases, you will also require an Ultimate subscription.

Although it hasn't been verified, it seems absurd to provide the streaming feature without requiring a subscription. However, considering that people will be purchasing these games, perhaps it will permit the potential. With Game Pass, on the other hand, you pay for the membership subscription rather than the individual games. (*)
