There are many reasons why people might need to sideload a game. Maybe they don’t have access to the store that the game is available on, or they’re not able to get the game from the store because it’s blocked by their country’s firewall. Maybe they want to try out a game before buying it, or they don’t have enough storage space on their device to install the full game. Whatever the reason, sideloading a game means getting it without having it installed from the official store.
A sideloaded games app must:
-Be installed on the user’s device outside of the Google Play Store.
-Allow users to install and play games without having to sign in to a Google account.
-Be able to access game files stored on the user’s device, including game saves and achievements.
-Not require any additional software or hardware beyond what is already present on the user’s device.
