🚨 Microsoft and Google are fighting over the future of Xbox Microsoft and Google are currently in a legal dispute that could impact the future of the Xbox app on Android. Microsoft has developed a new Xbox game store for Android but is unable to launch it due to a court ruling that affects Google’s Play Store policies, specifically regarding app billing requirements. Microsoft is seeking regulatory changes to allow direct sales and streaming of games through its app without incurring Google’s 30% fee on purchases. Google has countered Microsoft’s claims, stating that Microsoft has the ability to sell games directly through its app but has opted not to do so. Historically, Microsoft removed the purchasing feature from its Xbox mobile app in 2020 to focus on remote console streaming. The legal battle is crucial for Microsoft's strategy to extend Xbox beyond traditional consoles, as it aims to create a more integrated gaming experience across devices. The outcome of this dispute could significantly shape the mobile gaming landscape and Microsoft's ambitions in that market. 💬 Source 📌 Powered by V3V Ventures
