Microsoft had plans to allow users of the Xbox app on Android to buy and play games through the software, but they've been delayed due to an administrative stay.

Microsoft says it's holding back its Android store for Xbox games as it waits for the latest court delay. However, Google is still not happy with sharing the Android store space.

A few weeks ago, Microsoft exec Sarah Bond said that in November, “players will be able to play and purchase Xbox games directly from the Xbox App on Android.” It’s almost December and the feature still isn’t live, but Bond says it’s not Microsoft’s fault.

The President of Xbox promised an overhauled Android app offering remote gaming in November, but it still hasn’t hit the app store.

Microsoft is ready to launch an overhauled Xbox app on the Play Store, but the company says it's unable to do so for now.

Back in October, Microsoft announced that come November, it would be able to finally start selling Xbox games via its app on Android devices. This, as The Verge points out, has not yet happened. Now Xbox president Sarah Bond has taken to social media to lay the blame for this delay squarely at Google’s feet.

A temporary administrative stay has halted Microsoft's plans to launch its Xbox game store on Android. The delay is due to ongoing legal battles between Google and Epic Games, which has implications for the entire Android ecosystem.
