The UK has passed the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers (DMCC) Bill, similar to the EU's Digital Markets Act, aimed at regulating tech giants like Apple and Google. This legislation could force these companies to allow third-party app stores and sideloading of games on iOS devices. As a result, the Epic Games Store and Fortnite are expected to return to iOS in the UK and EU in the second half of 2024 and 2025. The bill strengthens the UK Competition and Markets Authority's ability to oversee and enforce these regulations, ensuring that big tech firms act in users' best interests. The bill is expected to be approved before the UK's July election.
