Page-in linking is a technique that can help reduce the size of an installation package by allowing certain resources or data to be loaded on demand rather than being included in the initial download. This approach is particularly useful in scenarios where not all parts of an application or game are needed immediately upon installation. By deferring the download of non-essential components until they are actually needed, the initial package size can be significantly reduced, leading to a faster installation process and saving storage space on the device.

For example, in the session Design advanced games for Apple platforms, it is mentioned that you can minimize waiting by enabling people to play your game as soon as installation finishes by ensuring the initial stages of your game are downloaded at launch. This allows for a seamless experience where additional game data can be loaded in the background, reducing the initial download size and improving the user experience.
