Judge Moves Google Play Injunction Deadline to Oct. 29 After Joint Request

Google is preparing a Supreme Court filing by October 27 that could pause the upcoming changes.

Overview

  • U.S. District Judge James Donato vacated the October 22 effective date and reset enforcement for October 29.
  • The order follows a jointly filed request from Epic and Google, with no reason given in public filings.
  • The injunction requires Google to end mandatory Google Play Billing and permit alternative payments and developer-set pricing.
  • Google has said it will comply with its legal obligations during its appeal, pending any higher-court action.
  • Google plans to seek a Supreme Court stay with a petition targeted for October 27, so the October 29 rollout could be delayed.
