Xbox players just got a handful of new features this week, several of which improve the overall user ecosystem experience and make good on Xbox’s “Play Anywhere” mantra. But one feature in particular has me wondering why more gaming companies aren’t stealing the idea or pushing the feature harder.
Xbox’s April update includes the ability to purchase games via the surprisingly useful Xbox smartphone app. While users have always been able to manage their storage, download games, and even remote play via the app, they haven’t been able to outright buy new games on there.
