Install an APK with OBB Data Files on LDPlayer
Some Android games need an OBB file in addition to the APK. The OBB file stores large data, such as graphics and media, that is not in the APK. This guide covers two ways to install the APK with its OBB data: copy the OBB file into LDPlayer
Before You Start

- On the LDPlayer home screen, open System Apps, then open File Manager.
- Open Android, then open obb.
- Click ufe19 in the upper-right corner and select New folder.
- Rename the new folder to the game's package name.
- Drag the OBB file into the LDPlayer window. If the game has two OBB files, drag both.

## Overview Some Android games need an OBB file in addition to the APK. The OBB file stores large data, such as graphics and media, that is not in the APK. This guide covers two ways to install the APK with its OBB data: copy the OBB file into LDPlayer by hand, or combine both files into an XAPK on your PC.
## Why this works The APK is the app program. The OBB file is the extra data the game loads while it runs. Android looks for OBB files in a folder under the Android obb folder, and that folder is named after the game’s package name. When the names match, the game finds its data. When they do not, the game may ask for the data or fail to start.
## What to expect After step 9, the OBB file sits in the folder named after the package. Open the game. It should start without asking for the OBB data.
## Verify Open the game. If it starts without asking for the OBB data, the file is in the right place.
## Common mistakes
- Naming the folder after the game’s title instead of its package name.
- Creating the folder in the wrong place. It belongs inside the obb folder.
- Opening the game before the OBB file is in place.
- Copying only one of two OBB files.
## Notes and Troubleshooting
- Method 1 requires the OBB folder name to match the package name exactly.
- If the game still fails to start, check the package name and the OBB file name, then try Method 2.
