If you are a regular visitor who is looking for and downloading games out of Play Store, you will encounter Android games with OBB File. Do you know how to install Game with OBB File? In this article, we would like to tell you everything about this topic.

What is OBB File?

DATA, or commonly known as Cache memory, is composed of various files such as audio, graphics, game scripts. It is a mandatory condition to run the game. Usually, Android games are light (less than 100M), so you can install them easily with an APK file.

However, with the heavy Android games (a few hundred MB to a few GB), it is not so simple. In addition to APK files, they usually come with a DATA file in OBB format. You need to install this OBB file if you want the game to work properly. However, not everyone knows how to handle this kind of file.

If you download a game from Play Store, the OBB file will load automatically as soon as you install the game without having to do anything.
