Google and Epic end dispute; third-party app stores launch next week

Google and Epic Games have resolved their antitrust battle, clearing the way for third-party Android app stores, including Epic's, to be listed on Google Play starting next week. This settlement marks a major shift in Android's app distribution model, potentially reducing Google's control over in-app payments and fees. The change could lead to more competition and lower costs for app developers and users.
