TL;DR

A settlement requires Epic Games and its CEO Tim Sweeney to publicly praise Google’s competitiveness and its app-store operations for five years after Google finishes rolling out Play Store fee changes (expected by Sep 30, 2027), effectively barring negative remarks until after Sep 30, 2032; Epic has also brought Fortnite back to the Google Play Store in response to the changes.
