On June 27, 2021, Google introduced the 'Play Media Experience Program' to encourage Android developers to support a broader ecosystem of devices.
The program offers a reduced commission rate of 15% for media apps that integrate with multiple form factors, including Android TV, Android Auto, Wear OS, and tablets.
Developers who meet the program's requirements, such as having at least 100,000 active installations per month and a strong rating on Google Play, can earn the reduced commission rate.
Google's goal is to motivate developers to optimize their apps for a wider range of devices, including those with unique customizations and features.
