✦AI Summary
Aptoide has become the first third-party app store to launch on Google Play in the U.S. following a court ruling in the Epic Games antitrust case. This move allows users to access alternative app marketplaces directly through Google's infrastructure.
Competing Android app stores are now back on Google Play in the U.S., and Aptoide is the first to take advantage of the new option. On Monday, the Portugal-based app distributor brought its games store back to Google Play after more than a decade, crediting the loosening of restrictions that had been criticized as anticompetitive.
