EU orders Google to open Android and Search to rivals

The EU has ordered Google to open key parts of Android and Search to rivals under the Digital Markets Act, and this could matter a lot for mobile gaming over time. Rival AI assistants are expected to gain broader access to Android features and data, while competing search and AI services get more access to Google Search data. This is not a shiny game launch, but platform rules shape mobile discovery, user choice and developer opportunity.

If Android becomes more open to rival assistants and services, app discovery and device-level gaming features could become more competitive.
