TL;DR

Google plans to replace its flat 30 percent Play Store fee with lower, decoupled rates and allow developers to use outside payment methods, with tiered cuts based on revenue and whether developers use Google Play Billing; changes will roll out in stages—with some regions by September and a global rollout by 2027—alongside programs like Games Level Up and Apps Experience to qualify for lower rates.
