Epic Games CEO says his company won in Google Play antitrust case

Dec 11 () – “Fortnite” maker Epic Games has prevailed in an antitrust trial over Alphabet’s Google Play app marketplace, Epic Chief Executive Tim Sweeney said late on Monday, hours after the federal jury took up the case.

“Victory over Google! After 4 weeks of detailed court testimony, the California jury found against the Google Play monopoly on all counts. The Court’s work on remedies will start in January,” Sweeney wrote in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Spokespeople for Google and Epic did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Lawyers for the two companies made their final arguments earlier in the day, after more than a month of trial in Epic’s lawsuit, which accuses Google of unlawfully scheming to make its Play store dominant over rival app stores.
