See all Stories
We know Microsoft wants to build a mobile Xbox store to take on Google and Apple, and Xbox chief Phil Spencer is taking shots at those platform holders today.
“Both Google and Apple exert control over the largest gaming platform,” says Spencer. “Apple won’t let us put a streaming app in their store, so we can’t bring console games through their storefront.”
Asked why Apple isn’t allowing an Xbox app in the App Store, Spencer says it’s about competition.
“Its competition for their control in the largest gaming platform. These are games that players want to play, we have a delivery mechanism to deliver games, they choose to block it.” He says Apple has “been allowed to do that.”
