This would only be useful if they made a portable Xbox One.

I don’t think there’s a single person in the world that wants to play android games or use android apps on their Xbox.

I remember when Facebook was on the 360 too. Didn’t last long.

 

[Cert.in.Death]

Too bad the UX is typically shite. But I for one am really looking forward to hotswapping between Gmail and Coinbase while in Halo queues.

I think the main answer here is emulators and apps like ScummVM. Android has lots of them.

there are a few good android games that also work flawlessly on contoller.

example Max Payne, or all the GTA games, including Chinatown Wars.

the issue is tho, this will be limited to the Amazon App Store, because that's what it will be on Windows 11.
and while the Amazon App store has a lot of apps (most of the bigger ones, especially free to play stuff) there are many missing and you would need to buy paid apps again on that store in order to use them if you already own them on the Play Store.

KOTOR is also on the Amazon App Store btw. so, again, there is a bunch of interesting stuff on there



ALSO EMULATORS!!! of course we already have working emulators for basically everything on the Xbox, but it's not the easiest to get those running for most people, so having an android app to do that would be very convenient for normal users


edit: I just looked through the Amazon App Store, just to see what they got over there.
here some interesting titles that aren't available on modern consoles yet:

GTA3
KOTOR
Sonic 1, 2, CD (whitehead version)
Sonic 4 (meh I know)
Dragon Quest 1-8
Final Fantasy 3, 4 (3D remakes)

and yes, they have Retroarch!

This would only be useful if they made a portable Xbox One.

And or have native support for console commands.
Gehnshin Impact by proxy.

<---- Plays genshin impact

 

[Oddvintagechap]

Xbox wants all the publishers to abandon them in one swoop.

 

[nightmare-slain]

that sounds awesome. i'd love to play some mobile only games on xbox.

 

[theHFIC]

Xbox Series Ouya confirmed

 

[Plantoid]

A feature is a feature, we are not the target audience...

 

[Gameplaylover]

Diablo Immortal!

 

[Hosam6xavi]

Only games ? Why not apps also

I want to watch ufc fights from my Xbox .. ufc Arabia app is not supported on Xbox yet

 

[Nevaeh]

Yes please!!!

 

[Arenafighter]

The only way to get sky go on Xbox

 

[Warablo]

The only mobile game I remember playing is Hitman Go, which is great btw.

 

[Esppiral]

Genshin impact, Alphalt9 etc oh.. And emulators

 

[Soodanim]

Sonic 1, 2, CD (whitehead version)

Beat me to it. CD had the PC/console port which is fine, but 1/2 never got the same love outside of the platform least likely to appreciate them and I have no idea why. There's no licensing issues (it's all theirs) and no porting issues (Whitehead's engine).

Android apps on Xbox could be interesting. Not huge, depending on how they lock it down, but interesting for the niche cases.

 

[Burythelight]

Microsoft has postponed the update on Windows 11.

 

[Neofire]

There is an infinite hatred I have for smart phone games and the ads they force on you.

 

[Gameplaylover]

I mostly agree, but imagine ScummVM (All the classic Adventures) or Nintendo Emulators

 

[Raphael]

I would buy an Xbox android Phone!

 

[Papacheeks]

Only draw back I see is not for the users who want to run better emulators and better version of RetroArch, it's people who abuse android app and hack the shit out of xbox's back end.

That's where side loading Android scripts could literally start making Xbox os unsafe and make way for easy cheats for multiplayer.

 

[Rykan]

I just want Discord to work. That's all.

 

[JLB]

The idea to have the whole Android library sounds amazing, but like typically with these things, the devils is on the details. Getting mobile games to work great on non mobile devices typically is clunky.

 

[marjo]

Would be awesome if I could run Steamlink through my Xbox

 

[VolticArchangel]

Ah, yes.

Finally the godlike ability to TikTok right after I get a MLG360NoScope420BlazeIt in CoD or fOrTniTe.

 

[stranno]

I would buy an SX right away with that feature. Unfortunately it has been delayed on W11, so I guess they are struggling with the implementation.

 

[RoadHazard]

Y tho?

I'm an Android user, but I've never ever felt the need to run Android apps on anything but my phone and TV (Android TV apps).
