How do you download a game from your smartphone to your computer?

I would like to know how to do this so that I could download some games to my son’s computer for him to play. Are you able to do this and how did you do it? I have a Verizon Wireless LG Lucid 4GLTE. Thanks for your advice! :)

Answer #1

I dont think you can do that. You would have to get the game that’s for computers.

Answer #2

Well, only way I can think is if you download the game file (making sure it is a PC or MAC version and not a phone-game) to your phone or an sd card in your phone, then transfer it to your computer via usb. But computer games tend to be much bigger phone games, you’d have to have enough space on your phone for you to even attempt this.

Answer #3

While you can download a game from your smartphone to your computer, the software on the games won’t allow them to play on a computer. Computers use a different software than smartphones and the applications can’t be interchanged.

Most smartphone games do have a PC or Mac version that you have to purchase separately.

Some games that have PC or Mac versions include:

  • Angry Birds
  • Plants Vs Zombies
  • The Secret of Monkey Island
  • Mind Craft
  • Sims 3
