For a heavy game like Asphalt 8, the APK file is just the installer. The file contains the bulk of the data—graphics, tracks, and car models.

An OBB (Opaque Binary Blob) file is an additional data bundle used by developers to store large assets, such as high-definition graphics, music, and heavy game data. Why games use both

Repacks often include mods (e.g., unlimited tokens or unlocked seasons) that are not available in the official Play Store version.

Android introduced OBB files starting from Android 2.3 Gingerbread to allow apps, particularly heavy games, to exceed the APK size limit without having to reinvent the wheel. Instead of bundling everything into the APK, developers can upload a relatively lightweight APK and one or two OBB expansion files with the rest of the content.
