I can't open games I've downloaded from the web.

[Android Central Question]

I want to play downloaded game from the web and the down load is successful but the message that pops up says cannot open file. I've tried the play store for an app but after downloading the app I don't know how to open it so I can play.

Welcome to Android Central! What kind of file are you downloading? If the game is available on the Play Store, open the Play Store app on your phone, tap Install, then look in the phone's App Drawer for the game. Tap to open.

It's not a good idea to download game apk files from the web -- they're more likely to have malware, and most of the time they're also pirated.
