Microsoft is considering advancing the Xbox App on Android into a comprehensive multiplatform game store. This move, mentioned by Tim Sweeney, comes as Asha Sharma leads Microsoft’s gaming division. Expanding the platform could position Microsoft more competitively within the global mobile gaming market and challenge existing digital distribution models. No official launch timeline has been disclosed.
Sweeney has previously highlighted issues around competition in digital stores, calling on U.S. regulators to permit alternative platforms on iOS such as Epic and Steam for greater app market diversity. He also addressed workforce changes at Epic Games, clarifying recent layoffs were not tied to employee performance and emphasizing available quality talent. These statements add context to his comments on Microsoft's potential expansion.
