Can't play games on Note 8

[Jonathan Smith3]

Hello! I bought a Note 8 this week, and I can't play games on it. I don't know why. I am doing everything correctly (as far as I know)- placing th .obb file in SDcard... what am I doing wrong? Any tips would be most appreciated. Thank you!

Sounds like you MAY be trying to play pirated games (correct me if I'm wrong), which is always iffy regarding working or not. That data should be downloaded and placed automatically by the app when bought legitimately.

Agree with above. If you purchase or download an app from Google Play, Amazon Appstore, or any other legitimate app store (like GetJar or SlideMe), it should either install it for you automatically, or you should gain access to an .apk file, which is the installer file for an app. I've never heard of trying to install a game by using an .obb file.

Which games are you trying to download and install? Are you stationed abroad and have limited access to Google Play or other app stores?
