Xbox owners in the US will be able to play and purchase games directly from the Xbox App on Android from November.
The change follows the ongoing legal battle between Epic Games and Google. Earlier this week a US judge ruled Google runs a monopoly via its smartphone app store, meaning third-party storefront apps must now be made available from the Google Play Store.
This has opened the door for Microsoft, meaning players can now purchase Xbox games on Android devices and then immediately stream them through Xbox Cloud Gaming.
