Google has lost with Epic Games, where they now need the Play Store to third parties to allow other app stores to be offered as well as not requiring users to use Google Play Billing for any payment. Recently, Microsoft also wants to take advantage of this matter. So, what should you know about it?
For your information, Microsoft will sell Xbox video games through the Xbox app on Android. Not only that, each of these games can also be played directly on Android devices via Xbox Cloud Gaming. This means PC and Xbox console games can be played through streaming services. It's a little strange why the Xbox app still doesn't sell video games while the Steam and PlayStation apps can.
The court's ruling to open up Google´s mobile store in the US will allow more choice and flexibility. Our mission is to allow more players to play on more devices so we are thrilled to share that starting in November, players will be able to play and purchase Xbox games directly…

In addition, Microsoft still doesn't have any further information about this brand-new Xbox application. Support for purchasing and continuing to play games on Android devices will also be limited to users in the United States.
