Microsoft will launch an Xbox mobile store in July
By ForGeeks Microsoft recently sparked public discontent by shutting down four studios, one of which had a big future. However, that’s not the only big news related to the corporation this week.
Microsoft’s announcement of the closure of four of its studios was a major one.
Last March, Phil Spencer announced the company’s intention to launch its own app store. At this year’s Bloomberg Summit, Xbox’s president, Sarah Bond, confirmed that the company will still open its App Store and Google Play counterpart in July.
The platform will initially only be available in a web version, and users will only be able to download Microsoft’s own games, such as Minecraft and Candy Crush Saga. However, the company assures that the range will expand to include other publishers over time. Bond also promised unique discounts and cross-platform games that can be run on smartphones, consoles and PCs.
