Microsoft's Xbox mobile gaming store could arrive next year...
Following the rule changes to Apple and Google's app stores, which are expected to be enforced by March 2024, Microsoft's Phil Spencer has said that the Xbox mobile gaming store could arrive next year — if regulators approve the Activision Blizzard deal.that it planned on launching an Xbox mobile gaming store, a move the company said would allow it to"scale the Xbox Store to mobile, attracting gamers to a new Xbox Mobile Platform.
"We want to be in a position to offer Xbox and content from both us and our third-party partners across any screen where somebody would want to play,” Spencer said. “Today, we can’t do that on mobile devices but we want to build towards a world that we think will be coming where those devices are opened up.”
Apple and Google have held a"duopoly" over the mobile market for some time now, making it incredibly difficult for other companies to break into the space, but that could change next year. From March 2024, the EU is expected to begin enforcing the Digital Markets Act, which would designate Apple and Google as"gatekeepers" and require the firms to change their store rules for app distribution.
Microsoft's biggest challenge looks to be getting the Activision Blizzard deal approved. If successful, it would give the company access to some heavyweight mobile games like Candy Crush Saga, Diablo Immortal, and Call of Duty mobile.
