Getting there! Microsoft is now ready to give more users access to the Amazon Appstore, essentially opening up the possibility for them to run Android apps on Windows 11.
The launch of the Windows 11 2022 Update was the perfect opportunity for expansion, and the company has taken advantage of it.
It has announced that it is bringing Android application support to users in 31 countries, a substantial increase from the initial testing exclusively in the United States, which was recently expanded to Japan.
Users in these countries will be able to enjoy more than 20,000 Android apps and games, with the software titan taking steps to make discovering them even simpler.
Microsoft claims that the preview phase generated much interest from customers and developers, with users excited to see their favorite Android apps natively supported on their Windows devices, even though the OS does not support the Google Play Store and its services.
This is why the company is working around the clock to expand the availability of the Amazon App Store and engage with developers to ensure that all apps run properly on Windows 11 while improving performance along the way.
The words:
“The Windows Subsystem for Android™ (WSA) continues to get better each month thanks to developer feedback. In the latest release, you will enjoy 2-3 times faster graphic performance with hardware acceleration, DRM video support, improved input handling across touch, mouse and keyboard, and several network and security improvements.”
You can scan the current list of countries where the Amazon Appstore Preview is available here.
The list includes a range of countries and regions, including Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Monaco, Spain, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.
Hopefully, the next step is worldwide availability.
