Since acquiring Activision Blizzard, Microsoft has not only acquired more game lineups to enrich its Game Pass service, but its next step is to enter the mobile game market! According to a report by Bloomberg, Xbox head Phil Spencer confirmed that Microsoft plans to launch an Xbox mobile game store to challenge Apple and Google head-on.
In view of the fact that Apple is facing the EU’s “Digital Market Act” and will soon be forced to open third-party stores and sideloading of iOS, it will allow developers to bypass the App Store, exempt from the 30% Apple tax, and also open the door for Microsoft to enter the iPhone. . Although there is no clear time point, Phil Spencer pointed out that in order to build its App store, it is currently looking for partners, suggesting that it will come true soon.
As for what works will be provided in the Microsoft Xbox Store? The first thing that can be expected is the Game Pass service. Microsoft is committed to providing Xbox games on various screens, allowing iPhones and iPads to directly play 3A titles through cloud streaming. Phil Spencer also mentioned that part of the reason for acquiring Activision Blizzard is their influence in the field of mobile games, including “Candy Crush” and “The Final Hour” mobile version, which are very popular with players.
