“Microsoft’s core market is way over a billion active users and they want many billions. Getting back to Tim Sweeney, he had a follow up tweet when asked what their plans say about their faith in their core market:
Of course, Microsoft has plans to make native mobile apps for games like Candy Crush Saga and Call of Duty as well. Phil also said that it would be trivial for Microsoft to bring Xbox and Game Pass service over to mobile devices. “Today, we can’t do that on mobile devices but we want to build towards a world that we think will be coming where those devices are opened up.” “We want to be in a position to offer Xbox and content from both us and our third-party partners across any screen where somebody would want to play. In the Financial Times report, Phil Spencer said this about Microsoft’s app store plans:
If Apple and Alphabet appeal on provisions on the act, they could delay its passing for an indeterminate amount of time. In particular, Microsoft themselves tie their hopes on the upcoming Digital Markets Act to formally make third party app stores possible. If that gets approved, other regulators may compel the two to allow the same on other regions, if they don’t just give up and make it universal. However, the EU is currently working on new rules to force the two companies to publish third party app stores to iOS and Android.

Some OEMs have circumvented these limits on Android devices, such as Samsung, while others have passed over it by forking Android, like Huawei has with HarmonyOS. Both don’t allow other companies to put up their own app stores on their own operating systems. This is because they currently hold a duopoly over mobile app stores. This was a quote tweet to an article by the Financial Times, where Microsoft again explains their intention to take advantage a new opportunity to launch their own mobile game store on Android and Apple platforms.įor those who don’t know, Apple and Android have faced scrutiny from the same regulators looking at the Microsoft – Activision deal.
