The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a landmark antitrust ruling against Google, siding with Epic Games in a decision that forces the tech giant to dismantle key restrictions in its Play Store. The unanimous verdict rejects Google's claims of legal errors and affirms the trial court's authority to mandate corrective measures—even those impacting lawful conduct—to address anticompetitive harm.

Google warns the ruling jeopardizes user safety and Android innovation, while Epic CEO Tim Sweeney celebrated the outcome as a victory for app developers seeking alternative payment systems and distribution channels. The injunction, delayed during Google's appeal, will now compel the company to allow competing marketplaces and billing options.
