Google has been granted a one-week extension, moving the deadline from October 22 to October 29, 2025, to implement court-mandated changes to its Play Store. The changes stem from an antitrust lawsuit victory by Epic Games and would require Google to allow third-party app stores and alternative billing systems. The extension was jointly requested by both Google and Epic Games, though no public reason was provided for the delay. This postponement gives Google additional time as it prepares to file a full appeal with the Supreme Court by October 27. Google has argued that implementing these changes poses significant security and safety risks for Android users and would negatively impact developers. The company's previous request to the Supreme Court to pause the injunction was denied in October.
