Microsoft to launch its mobile game store in July

May 10. (Portaltic/EP) –

Microsoft will launch his mobile game store in julyto compete directly with those of Apple and Google with an offer of its own titles that will later be expanded with third-party games.

The technology company already confirmed its intention to have its own mobile applications and games store when in February 2020 it shared the principles by which it would be governed, underlining its intention to anticipate the European regulation that was then being discussed, and that this year has materialized in the Digital Markets Law.

The final proposal is a store web-based applications, which will allow users access it from any deviceas the president of Xbox, Sarah Bond, announced this Thursday during her speech at the Bloomberg Technology Summit.

Being a website and not an application, the store “is accessible on all devices, in all countries, no matter what, regardless of the policies of closed ecosystem stores,” he noted.

With it, he hopes to offer a cross-play offer for consoles, computers and mobiles, starting with a catalog of their own titles, which will also include discounts, and later incorporate third-party games. Its launch is scheduled for July, according to Bond.
