Epic Games has filed a new antitrust lawsuit against Google and Samsung, alleging their coordinated efforts to undermine third-party app stores via Samsung's restrictive Auto Blocker feature.
The Auto Blocker feature, which users can disable, presents a complicated 21-step process that discourages users from sideloading third-party apps.
Epic asserts that the Auto Blocker feature contradicts the December 2023 court ruling in Epic v. Google, which recognized Google's monopoly in Android app distribution.
This latest lawsuit underscores the ongoing tensions in the app distribution market, as both Google and Samsung are expected to appeal Epic's claims.
