Microsoft Plans Xbox Mobile Gaming Store Launch in 2024

The move, following the Activision Blizzard acquisition, aims to challenge Apple and Google's dominance in the mobile gaming industry.

  • Microsoft is actively working on launching an Xbox mobile gaming store, aiming to compete with Apple and Google in the mobile gaming industry.
  • The move comes after Microsoft's $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard, and the company is currently in talks with gaming industry partners.
  • Microsoft's CEO of Gaming, Phil Spencer, has stated that the mobile gaming store is an important part of their strategy and they are looking to launch it sometime in 2024.
  • The European Union's Digital Markets Act, which will increase scrutiny on app store practices, is set to come into effect in March 2024, potentially benefiting Microsoft's venture.
