Disclaimer: Installing PKG files requires a jailbroken system. Please ensure you are familiar with the risks associated with modifying your console.

If you are looking to expand the game, you must ensure that any DLC PKG files you download match the exact region code of your base game PKG (e.g., BLUS31564 for North America or BLES02166 for Europe). Mixing regions will result in the DLC failing to load. Is Black Ops 3 on PS3 Still Worth Playing?
The PKG file extension on the PS3 functions as an archive container, similar to a ZIP file, but encrypted and signed by Sony. It contains the necessary executables (EBOOT.BIN), assets, and metadata for installation on the console’s file system (typically dev_hdd0).
Copy the .pkg file into the root of your USB drive (e.g., USB:/BO3.pkg ) or the packages folder on your internal HDD.
