Microsoft Tests Full Xbox Store and Wishlist in Mobile App Beta

The beta follows delays tied to app‑store rules that stalled Microsoft’s plan after its 2024 announcement.

Overview

  • The store is live in the Xbox mobile beta app on Android, with reports of appearance in some iOS regions.
  • Users can browse console and PC titles, purchase games or add-ons, and maintain a wishlist that syncs across Xbox platforms.
  • The update does not enable installing native mobile games through the Xbox app, focusing instead on console and PC content.
  • Early testing describes the refreshed interface as faster and smoother than prior versions.
  • Microsoft has not given a rollout schedule for all users, following earlier delays linked to Apple’s in‑app purchase and anti‑steering rules.
