Google will pay $700mn to settle a lawsuit brought by a group of US states accusing it of quashing competition to its Play Store on Android devices, according to court filings released on Monday.
The announcement of the terms of the settlement, which was reached in September, comes after Epic Games, the maker of popular online game Fortnite, won a related case against the tech company last week.
Google agreed to pay $630mn into a settlement fund for consumers, with another $70mn going to a fund for the states, the court document showed. Under the settlement, Google also agreed to make changes to the way the Android system works in the US, such as allowing developers to implement an alternative billing method for in-app purchases.
