Epic, Samsung Settle Antitrust Suit; Google Still Sued

News summary

Epic Games has settled its antitrust lawsuit against Samsung, which alleged that the tech giant conspired with Google to restrict third-party app stores on Samsung devices via features like Auto Blocker. While the specific terms of the settlement remain undisclosed, Epic CEO Tim Sweeney indicated Samsung will address Epic’s concerns, possibly by altering Auto Blocker’s default settings or implementing a whitelisting process for Epic’s app store. The agreement arrives just before Samsung's Unpacked event, removing a significant legal distraction for the company. Google is still a defendant in Epic’s broader litigation over app store competition, with Epic actively pursuing further action. The case underscores persistent tensions over mobile app distribution and competition. Industry observers are awaiting further announcements that may clarify the settlement's impact.
