Instead you will see Multiple Apk files or should I say Split APKs. While Split APKs are here for more than a year, previously it was not mandatory for developers to publish in this format. But Google is making this a must to use only this format in new games and Updates. And you may already start to see split APKs in new games. While the new installation process is a bit tricky compared to the current installation process, but nothing too complicated. If you don’t know how to install Split APKs games yet, you should learn this ASAP to continue enjoying new games.
