Are you sick of the games offered on the Google Play Store? Do you wish there was a bigger selection of games for you to play on your Android device? You are not alone. There are many websites out there offering off-market games – you just have to know where to look and how to install them.
If you’re interested in gaming on smartphones, there is no doubt that you understand the freedom Android gives its users compared to other platforms like Apple’s iOS. With iOS, users are confined to applications that are approved by Apple, and there is only one place to download. While the Google Play Store offers great apps, Android users have other options and other markets to enjoy, so to speak.
The beauty of Android phones is that it allows its users to be digital pioneers. It’s a lot like when PC gaming wasn’t mainstream – there were freeware games everywhere that made for great entertainment, but you had to find them. If you didn’t feel like playing mainstream games, you had the option of finding user made content or modifications of popular games.
Similarly, If you aren’t happy with the games in the approved catalog of Google’s store, you could always side-load games from other websites. Sure, not every game made off-market is amazing, but all the sifting allows for great discoveries. And those great discoveries are worth the trouble.
Below is a guide on how to enable your phone to side-load, vastly opening your options for all kinds of applications – not just games. Of course, you will have to be careful of what apps you decide to load – not all are safe for your phone – but the risk is worth the reward. Read on to learn exactly how to accomplish this task, and then go and enjoy your bounty.
