Microsoft will launch Xbox game store in July

Microsoft announced the launch of its Xbox mobile game store on Android and iOS in July, featuring popular games like Candy Crush and Minecraft. The store will initially operate via the web, enabling global access across all devices. This strategy circumvents the limitations imposed by native app stores, particularly Apple's, which restricts third-party app stores except in the EU. Microsoft aims to eventually offer a comprehensive alternative to existing major app stores with expanded third-party support.
