Xbox President Sarah Bond announced that players will be able to buy games from the Android app starting in November. Epic Games is suing Google and Samsung over the latter's Auto Blocker feature making installing Epic Games Store difficult.

Thanks to Google's epic loss in Epic v. Google, Microsoft will let Android users play and purchase Xbox games on their devices.

Meanwhile, Microsoft is working on a browser-based Xbox mobile store of its own to take on the Google Play Store and the App Store. Indeed, its $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard, which owns Candy Crush maker King, was in part driven by the desire to boost its mobile game offering ahead of the launch of this store.
