Epic Games has requested a federal judge in California to compel Google to open its Play Store to more competition following a jury's finding that Google abused its power on the Android platform. In a court filing on Thursday, Epic proposed measures including allowing users more freedom in app downloads and limiting Google's agreements with device makers regarding preloading competing app stores. Epic stated on Friday that it should be able to bring its Epic Games Store to Android without hindrances. They also emphasized the need for consumers and developers to have greater control over in-app purchases, free from anti-competitive fees. Google responded, stating that Epic wants the benefits of Google Play without paying for it.

In December, the jury determined that Google unlawfully restricted developers from freely distributing their apps outside of the Play Store and exerted excessive control over in-app transaction payments. Google applies a standard 30% commission on numerous apps and in-app purchases.
