How to Install PES 2021 APK & OBB Files
Learn how to correctly install the PES 2021 APK and OBB files on your Android device with this comprehensive step-by-step guide.
Installing PES 2021 today requires manually placing the APK and OBB files since the game is no longer available directly on the official store. This guide will walk you through the process safely.
Step 1: Download the Files
You will need two files: the PES 2021 APK file (the installer) and the OBB data file (which contains the graphics, audio, and core assets). Ensure you download these from a trusted, reputable archival site.
Step 2: Enable Unknown Sources
Before installing the APK, go to your Android Settings > Security (or Privacy) and enable "Install from Unknown Sources". On newer Android versions, your browser or file manager will prompt you to grant this permission when you tap the APK.
Step 3: Install the APK
Locate the downloaded APK file in your 'Downloads' folder and tap it to install. Important: Do not open the game yet after installation finishes. Tap 'Done'.
Step 4: Move the OBB File
Using a file manager app (like ZArchiver), locate the downloaded OBB file. It should be inside a folder named jp.konami.pesam. Move this entire folder to Android / obb / on your device's internal storage.
