Google Play Opens the Door to Third-Party App Stores, Starting Next Week

As part of the antitrust settlement between Google and Epic Games, third-party app developers will have access to the Google Play Store beginning next week.

  • The Google-Epic antitrust settlement requires Google to allow third-party app stores on the Play Store starting next week, with a five-year injunction until 2027.
  • Epic Games sued Google in August 2020 over monopolistic practices; a jury unanimously ruled in December 2023 that Google held an illegal monopoly in Android app distribution and payments.
  • Third-party stores like Samsung Galaxy Store, Amazon Appstore, and Epic Games Store will be able to appear as downloadable apps on Google Play, reducing the friction of sideloading.
