Following an appeals court victory on Thursday, Epic CEO Tim Sweeney tweeted that “the Epic Games Store for Android will be coming to the Google Play Store.” This is despite Google’s plan to appeal the Ninth Circuit panel’s decision, which declined to overturn a 2023 jury verdict that Google’s app store and payment system had become illegal monopolies. On iPhone and iPad, the mobile version of the Epic Games Store is still only available in the European Union, but Android users could sideload it from the web since the apps launched last fall. Epic may not be the only company to put a rival app store inside of Google’s Play Store in the near future. The Epic Games Store on Android maintains your persistent status in games across platforms, and earlier this year, the company brought its weekly free games program to the mobile stores, too. It also has other Epic games, like Fall Guys and Rocket League Sideswipe.
