You’ve just downloaded a MOD game from namoapk.com, and it comes with both APK and OBB files. Now what?

Installing APK + OBB files is not as straightforward as normal apps from the Play Store. But don’t worry — this easy, updated 2025 guide will walk you through the entire process step by step.

No root required. No premium apps needed.

What are APK and OBB Files?

  • APK (Android Package Kit): The actual app/game installer.
  • OBB (Opaque Binary Blob): Additional game data — usually large files for graphics, maps, or in-game content.

Many big games like GTA, PUBG, and Asphalt use OBB files to store their core assets.

What You Need:

  • A MOD APK + OBB ZIP file (Download from namoapk.com)
  • File extractor app (e.g., ZArchiver or RAR)
  • At least 2–4GB of free space
  • Android device (Android 6.0+ works best)

Step-by-Step: How to Install APK + OBB on Android

Step 1: Download the ZIP File

After downloading from namoapk.com, you’ll usually get a compressed .zip or .rar file that contains:

  • The APK
  • The OBB folder (com.game.name)

Step 2: Extract the ZIP File

Use ZArchiver (free from Play Store) or your preferred file extractor.

  1. Open ZArchiver
  2. Locate your ZIP file in Downloads
  3. Tap → “Extract here” or “Extract to ./folder_name/”

You should now see:

  • GameName.apk
  • A folder like: Android > obb > com.game.name

Step 3: Move OBB Files to Correct Directory

Important: Do this before installing the APK.

  1. Open file manager
  2. Move the com.game.name folder into: Internal Storage > Android > obb

📌 If the “obb” folder doesn’t exist, create it manually inside Android/.

Make sure your final path looks like: Internal Storage > Android > obb > com.game.name > main.obb

Step 4: Install the APK

Now that OBB is in place:

  1. Tap the GameName.apk file
  2. Allow installation from unknown sources (if asked)
  3. Complete the installation

🛑 Do NOT open the game yet.

Let it finish installing fully first.

Step 5: Open the Game

Now launch the game from your app drawer.

If all steps were followed:

  • The game should detect the OBB data
  • You’ll skip downloading extra content
  • MOD features will be active (unlimited coins, unlocked skins, etc.)
