Xbox App Set to Expand Functionality with In-App Game Purchases

Microsoft Xbox is enhancing its mobile experience, announcing upcoming features for the Xbox mobile app that will empower users on iOS and Android platforms. Soon, gamers will be able to directly buy games, subscribe to Game Pass, and access various other functionalities directly from the Xbox app on their mobile devices.

Mobile Game Purchasing Arrives

According to an official statement from Xbox, the updated application will incorporate a “Buy” button on game details pages. This will enable players to seamlessly purchase games and acquire additional content directly within the app environment.

Beta testers on both iOS and Android operating systems will be the first to experience this new capability. Following the beta phase, the ability to buy Xbox games through the mobile app will become broadly available to all mobile users.

Remote Play Feature Adjustment

In related news, Xbox has indicated adjustments to its remote play feature. While remote play, which allows users to stream games from their console to other devices, will no longer be directly accessible within the Xbox app, users can still utilize this feature. Remote play will remain available through mobile browsers on smartphones. Furthermore, the company is actively expanding remote play accessibility to encompass supported Samsung Smart TVs, Amazon Fire TV devices, and Meta Quest headsets.

Expanded Cloud Gaming for Game Pass Ultimate Subscribers

Game Pass Ultimate subscribers are gaining expanded access to Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta). Subscribers can now stream an expanded selection of owned games directly to their Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One consoles. To access this feature, navigate to “My games & apps” on the console, choose “Full library,” and subsequently select “Owned Games.” Games available for cloud streaming will be clearly marked with a cloud icon on their respective detail pages.
