Microgentle says it’s built an Xbox game store on Android but can’t begin it

A scant weeks ago, Microgentle exec Sarah Bond shelp that in November, “percreateers will be able to percreate and buy Xbox games honestly from the Xbox App on Android.” It’s almost December and the feature still isn’t dwell, but Bond says it’s not Microgentle’s fault.

On October 18th, Judge James Donato granted Google’s seek for a stay while it requests his ruling that the Android app store is an illterrible monopoly, which could depart leangs hanging in the stability for quite a while. Bond acunderstandledged that fact in a thread on Bluesky today, writing, “Due to a transient administrative stay recently granted by the courts, we are currently unable to begin these features as reckond. Our team has the functionality built and ready to go dwell as soon as the court originates a final decision.”

It’s a frustrating situation for anyone hoping to see more chooseions useable on their Android-powered devices that don’t need rooting or other toilarounds, and Microgentle has been schedulening its mobile app store strategy for years.
