TL;DR Summary

Google is rolling out lower Play Store fees (20% service fee for in-app purchases; 5% billing in the US, UK, and EEA) and launching a Registered App Stores program to host third‑party stores and enable external billing, with a staged global rollout through 2027. The changes aim to boost competition on Android while Epic Games’ antitrust settlement talks continue.
