Microsoft Xbox game store for Android and iOS launches in July with Candy Crush and Minecraft

Microsoft has officially confirmed that it will be launching its Xbox mobile game store on Android and iOS in July, bringing popular titles like Candy Crush and Minecraft to the mobile platform.

During the Bloomberg Technology Summit, Sarah Bond, Microsoft's president of Xbox, made the announcement, marking a significant move for the company into the mobile gaming space. Microsoft has been discussing plans to create an alternative game store to compete with Apple's App Store and Google's Play Store for some time, and this announcement solidifies those intentions with a firm launch date, reported9to5google.

Unlike traditional native apps, the Xbox game store won't be launching as an app but rather as a web-based platform. This approach allows Microsoft to distribute the store worldwide across all devices, including iOS, where access to third-party app stores is limited outside the EU.

Bond explained that the store would initially focus on Microsoft's own first-party portfolio, featuring popular titles like Candy Crush and Minecraft. However, the company plans to extend support to partners for a true cross-platform gaming experience.

Launching on the web ensures accessibility across different devices and regions, circumventing the restrictions imposed by closed ecosystem stores. While details about game distribution via the web remain unclear, cloud gaming is expected to play a significant role in the process.

The ultimate goal for Microsoft is to offer a viable alternative to Apple and Google's app stores, complete with third-party support. However, achieving this goal may require additional development and collaboration efforts.

The launch of the Xbox game store on Android and iOS signifies Microsoft's commitment to expanding its presence in the gaming industry, particularly in the mobile space. With

Illumineer’s Quest: Deep Trouble revealed — Disney Lorcana’s co-op and single-player modes are here
When Disney Lorcana launched in July 2023, it was strictly a competitive trading card game. As with any game, there’s a graceful way to play with newcomers or the kids at the local game store. But the thirst for lore (the game’s version of victory points) is real, and few can stand in the way of a parched Illumineer. Now publisher Ravensburger is expanding the format. Its new standalone game, Illumineer’s Quest: Deep Trouble, is coming out soon and Polygon has your first look inside the box. Get ready for cooperative and single-player game modes — both of which make use of the cards and decks you might already own.
