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 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 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.

Xbox wants the functionality to sell games through it's Android app. However, they've claimed that they're unable to do so. Google disagrees.

Microsoft and Google have been clashing heads to allow Xbox to sell and launch games from its Android App following a US judge verdict in October.

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.
