It appears that Microsoft is not satisfied with the amended Apple Store rules, as the iPhone manufacturer has released new rules that allow game streaming services, such as (xCloud) or (Stadia), to exist on (iOS) or (iPadOS).
Apple wants companies like Microsoft and Google to send their games
individually as separate apps using its own broadcast technology.
Microsoft is free to find the index application that bundles all of
these individual applications and links them together.
A Microsoft spokesperson said: “This remains a bad experience for
customers, as players want to go directly to a game from their curated list
within one app just like they do with movies or songs.”
"Players don't want to have to download more than 100 apps to
play single player games from the cloud, and we are committed to putting
players at the center of everything we do, and providing a great experience is
the essence of this mission," he added.
And if Microsoft follows the amended Apple Store rules, this means
that every game that is broadcast to the iPhone or iPad from (xCloud) is
subject to the usual Apple App Store rules, including 30 percent of the
controversial in-app purchases.
This percentage forms the core of the legal battle between Apple and (Epic
Games), which developed the game Fortnite, and this percentage has attracted
the attention of regulators in the United States and the European Union.
Microsoft is intentionally highlighting the point of streaming movies
or songs that do not face the same content restrictions as games.
Apple does not require Netflix, Spotify, or Disney Plus to send each
individual movie, TV show, or album in a separate app.
Apple deals with games differently in its app store, and the company
gets large amounts of in-app purchases related to games.
Games are the bulk of the (App Store) and the major entertainment
industry in the United States, an industry that Apple did not compete seriously
even with the service (Apple Arcade).
Microsoft's statement does not mention information about whether or
not it will restore work on (xCloud) under the amended Apple Store rules, which
may open the door to some form of game broadcasting from Microsoft or Google,
as long as both companies are willing to pay the price.
Next week, Microsoft is preparing to launch its game streaming
service, previously known as (xCloud), as part of (Xbox Game Pass Ultimate).
The game streaming service will be available in 22 countries on September 15th, but only on Android smartphones and tablets.
