.PKG File Extension

A PKG file is a package created for Symbian OS devices. It contains instructions in plain text format that are required to create a .SIS file, including the vendor name, software dependencies, and application files to copy.

PKG files are used to build a SIS file with the "makesis" command, which is part of the CreateSIS utility.

A PKG file is a file downloaded from Sony's PlayStation Store, an online store with games, movies, and demos for PS3 and PSP devices. It is saved in an encrypted format that is only recognized by compatible Sony devices and is used specifically for downloadable games, game updates, and demos.

Packages downloaded from the PlayStation Store can be transferred to a PSP or PS3 via USB, Memory Stick, or a network connection.
