Epic Games Store Pre-Installed on Telefónica's Android Devices, Including Samsung, to Challenge Google
Dec 12, 2024, 10:05 AM
Epic Games has entered into a long-term partnership with Telefónica, one of the world's largest telecommunications providers, to pre-install the Epic Games Store on compatible Android devices. This deal will make Fortnite and other games from third-party developers more accessible to millions of users in Spain, the UK, Germany, and Spanish-speaking Latin America. The partnership aims to bypass Google's app store monopoly, following Epic's legal victory against Google in December 2023, where a federal jury found Google's practices to be an illegal monopoly. This move is part of Epic's broader strategy to challenge Google's dominance in mobile app distribution and increase its revenue share. The Epic Games Store will be pre-installed on new devices sold by Telefónica, including Samsung phones, starting immediately.
