Epic claims that Samsung’s Auto Blocker feature is making it difficult for users to install the Epic Games Store on the latest Samsung devices. This is because Samsung now activates Auto Blocker, which only allows app installs from the Google Play Store and Samsung Galaxy Store by default and prevents third-party app installation unless you disable the function.

Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney even suggests that Google and Samsung are working together, though he admits there’s no concrete evidence for this claim.

Samsung’s smartphone does prevent users from installing Epic Games Store, and there no instructions on how to deactivate Auto Blocker. He then searched “turn off auto blocker” in the search bar, which yielded results but required jumping through several screens.

Besides winning against Google and legally proving that Google had a monopoly over Android app sharing, Epic Games also won a lawsuit against Apple. Apple had refused to let Epic Games launch its app store on iOS devices, but the EU forced Apple’s hand. However, Apple still resists and claims that its acceptance is only temporary.
