Help your players spend less time waiting and more time playing with Play as you download
summary
Play as you download lets players open games in seconds on Android 12 by streaming essential binaries using a new kernel-backed file system (incfs) and Play servers, claiming at least 2x faster install-to-play; prerequisites are Play App Signing, publishing an Android App Bundle, and recent SDKs. Play Asset Delivery (launched 2020) delivers assets via install-time (up to 1 GB), fast-follow and on-demand, supports texture compression format targeting and device-tier targeting (beta). CD Projekt Red cuts update size ~90% and saves ~8 minutes of wait time; Supercell halves on-disk size.
