Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney announced plans for the Epic Games Store to launch on Google Play in 2025, free from Google's fees.

6 Apps That Play Hi-Res Audio At Full Quality On Android – SlashGear

High-resolution digital audio (hi-res audio) refers to recordings that exceed the CD standard of 16-bit/44.1kHz. Major subscription music streaming services like Tidal, Apple Music, and Amazon Music Unlimited now emphasize hi-res audio, while Spotify has yet to provide it. Android devices lacked native support for hi-res playback until the release of Android 14 in 2023, which allowed playback exceeding 24-bit/48kHz. USB Audio Player PRO (UAPP) is a flexible app for hi-res audio on Android, supporting bit-perfect playback and streaming from DLNA servers. Tidal supports hi-res playback natively in its Android app and has transitioned to FLAC for hi-res titles. Amazon Music Unlimited offers a large library of hi-res titles and displays DAC output information but lacks clarity on bit-perfect playback support. Apple Music supports hi-res content since May 2021, requiring users to opt in due to file size and bandwidth demands. Neutron Music Player provides advanced audio features and DSP effects for local and network playback, while Poweramp Music Player is known for its extensive format support and customization options but may complicate achieving bit-perfect playback.
