Microsoft will launch its own mobile game store, will compete with Google Play Store

Microsoft intends to introduce a mobile game store on its own website. The report states that Microsoft's game store is scheduled to launch in July. At the Bloomberg Technology Summit, Xbox President Sarah Bond shared this information. Although it is unclear if other companies will be allowed to publish their games in this store or not, he stated that Microsoft Game Studio will have a large number of games available on Microsoft's Gum Store.

It is being said in the report that games like Candy Crush Saga and Call of Duty: Mobile will also be available on Microsoft's game store. Offers will also be available on purchase of game items at the store. This store will be available only for mobile apps. The web version will not launch. It can be accessed in any country.

The president of Xbox said that who you are, your library, your identity, and your rewards will be with you. All will be in the same ecosystem. A big advantage of the launch of this store for Microsoft will be that Google and Apple will no longer have to pay the money that Microsoft currently has to pay, which is about 30 percent.

Here it will be quite interesting to see how Microsoft competes with the app stores of Google and Apple because many apps are already available in both these stores. Even though Microsoft is a big gaming company, Apple and Google have a strong reach in terms of app store and mobile.
