According to Epic Games, the new compliance deadline for Google is set for October 22nd, 2025. "Beginning October 22, developers will legally be able to direct US Google Play users to make out-of-app payments without incurring fees, encountering scare screens, or other obstacles -- similar to what Apple App Store users in the US experience!" states Epic CEO Tim Sweeney.
"Android offers more options for both users and developers than any other mobile OS, and the US District Court's mandated changes could compromise users' safety in downloading apps. Although we're disappointed that the stay was not granted, we will persist with our appeal."
Google plans to file a full appeal to the Supreme Court for certiorari by October 27th, 2025, which falls after the compliance deadline. The district court judge who initially issued the injunction, Judge James Donato, has previously requested Google and Epic to outline their compliance methods in his courtroom on October 30th.
