Installing using the BlackBerry Desktop Manager

There are multiple ways to install a game on your BlackBerry, one of which is via your desktop PC. 

  • You will need to download the .zip files for each of your games before proceeding.  If you have, skip to the activation section now.  If not, visit http://www.bplay.com/ to view the catalog of games.  Make sure when downloading, you select the "Get/Try" version.
  • Once they are downloaded you will need to extract the game folders to the desktop.  If you are using Windows XP or higher, this is as simple double clicking on the downloaded file, and following the prompts.  Make sure to choose a location to extract to you will remember. 
  • Open the Desktop Manager, and select the Application Loader.


  • Push next until you arrive at Device Application Selection screen.  From here you can select which application you would like to add, or remove.  At first, your recently downloaded applications will not appear in the list as you will need to add them.  You can do this by pushing the Add button depicted in the image below.



  • Navigate to the location you extracted the game folders to, and add the .alx file in each game folder to the list.  Once you have made sure all of your downloaded programs are in the list above you can click next. 

  • The next screen is a summary of all the actions to be preformed, if you are satisfied, push next again to begin the installation.
