What is inside the release archive?
Unlike pre-compiled game dumps, XC2-Setup ships the static recompiler toolchain, runtime library, and shader translator so your PC can build xc2.exe locally once from your own console files:

Common questions
Which file should I download for Windows 10 or Windows 11?
Download XC2-Setup-0.1.12-windows.zip (182.3 MB, 182,331,595 bytes). Extract the ZIP to any temporary folder and run XC2-Setup.exe. Once the one-time setup finishes building your game folder, you can delete both the unpacked installer and the ZIP archive.
Why does Windows SmartScreen show an unrecognized app prompt on XC2-Setup.exe?
XC2-Setup.exe and the generated xc2.exe are open-source binaries built by GitHub Actions without a paid commercial Authenticode certificate. Verify the archive’s SHA-256 checksum above, then click More info → Run anyway.
Do I need libfuse2 to run the Linux AppImage on Ubuntu 24.04 or SteamOS?
No. make_release_linux.py packages XC2-Setup with the static type-2 AppImage runtime, which mounts without requiring libfuse2 on the host system.
Can I install XC2 Recomp through RecompLauncher?
Yes. Both the Windows ZIP and the Linux AppImage contain recomplauncher.json. When started from RecompLauncher, the launcher invokes python -m installer --progress-lines headlessly and installs the game into game/ next to the setup.
