Microsoft will start allowing US users to buy and play Xbox games directly from the Xbox App on Android starting in November. This development follows a US court ruling that mandates Google to open up its Play Store, stemming from Epic's lawsuit against Google. The decision is expected to provide more choice and flexibility for gamers, enabling them to stream games to their mobile devices using Microsoft's cloud streaming platform. Xbox president Sarah Bond expressed enthusiasm about the new opportunities this ruling will create for players.
