Why do so many mobile games need to download more data immediately after you install them?

248 views

If you play a lot of mobile games you’ve probably experienced this. You finally get a game installed, open it up, and are greeted with a message to the effect of “downloading additional data”. Why wasn’t that data downloaded while the game was being downloaded?

There is limit on playstore and apple market which dictate maximum size fo applications. Everything above that size should be downloaded separately.

Optimisation part also make it place. Some game developers have different assets packs for different devices and different countries ( Chinees lows creates a lot of troubles).
