We are aware of how Google dominates with the PlayStore on Android and the Apple App Store on iOS. No third player has been able to stand in front of their monopoly.

But the challenge here is that Xbox will have to navigate through Apple App Store’s strict rules for third-party store apps.
The app store will debut on the web and you will be able to download it from there.
