Japan Enacts Law to Curb Apple and Google's App Dominance, Ensuring Access to Third-Party Apps
Jun 12, 2024, 12:57 PM
Japan has enacted a new law aimed at curbing the dominance of major tech companies like Apple and Google in the mobile app market. The legislation, passed by the Japanese government and the Diet, ensures access to third-party app stores, allowing mobile gamers and developers more freedom in choosing platforms. This move is similar to recent regulations introduced by the European Union. As a result, the Epic Games Store and Fortnite are set to become available on iOS devices in Japan by late 2025.
