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 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.

Xbox and Google have seemingly provided conflicting takes on whether Xbox is allowed to sell and launch games from its Android app. In October, a US judge issued a permanent injunction ordering Google to open its Android marketplace to competitors.

Microsoft's recent plans to launch an Xbox game store on Android, which would allow users to purchase and play Xbox games on the Xbox App on Android, seems to have hit a roadblock.

Microsoft revealed that its Xbox Game Store for Android is only waiting for the court's mandate to take effect.

Microsoft says its plans to let users buy and play games directly via the Xbox app on Android are being held up by a new legal issue.

Microsoft has announced that despite the functionality being ready, it’s unable to launch an overhauled Xbox app on Android yet. The company blamed the delay on a “temporary administrative stay.” The overhauled app will let you buy and remotely play Xbox games via your phone.

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

Microsoft's plan to allow Android users to play and purchase Xbox games directly through the Xbox App has hit an unexpected obstacle due to legal challenges in court.
