🎮 Xbox’s mobile game store is coming in July

It's coming!

Xbox president Sarah Bond recently announced that their Xbox mobile games store is coming this July already.

But she also said that it will only include first-party content at first (think Minecraft, Candy Crush, and so on), before expanding to games from "partners".

So their store won't be a full-fledged Google Play or App Store competitor straightaway. But it's still interesting news, as both the upcoming Xbox and Epic Games stores might help create better terms for game developers - especially indies.

But will we all actually use these stores? I think Microsoft and Epic Games have to create some strong incentives (free Minecraft, anyone?).
