How will this app store align with Google’s PlayStore and Apple App Store?

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. The Xbox mobile gaming app is going to be a direct competitor to these two. Gamers will be able to access their favourite games here. 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.
