Microsoft says the ‘idea’ of an Xbox mobile store ‘is not dead’

Microsoft says its Xbox mobile store concept is still alive, but launch is blocked by app store restrictions and antitrust battles.

The project appears stalled, with its test URL no longer working, while Microsoft also explores web-based alternatives.

Microsoft is backing Epic’s case against Google and arguing for a more open Android app ecosystem.

The outcome could shape how Xbox content reaches phones and determine the future of Microsoft’s mobile gaming push.
