Epic Games says it’s reached a settlement after taking legal action against Samsung, which it sued last year along with Google over antitrust issues.
In a motion filed in a California district court, Epic requested a dismissal of its claims against Samsung, saying Epic, «has reached a settlement agreement with Defendants Samsung Electronics Co, Ltd. and Samsung Electronics America, Inc.»
Epic did not disclose the terms of the settlement, but the original suit focused around Samsung blocking the installation of apps on its mobile devices, making it more difficult for users to install Epic Games titles such as Fortnite on them. At the time, Epic said it took 21 steps to get a game installed because of Samsung’s Auto Blocker feature.
In an email to CNET, Epic Games pointed to CEO and founder Tim Sweeney’s post on X, which says: «We’re dismissing our court case against Samsung following the parties’ discussions. We are grateful that Samsung will address Epic’s concerns.»
A representative for Samsung did not immediately return a request for comment.
Epic’s legal battles against Apple and Google are ongoing.
The Federal Trade Commission recently extended a deadline for players to claim money in a $245 million settlement involving Fortnite. That deadline is now July 9.
