System Requirements
Meeting recommended specifications won't guarantee perfect performance.
Recommended:
- OS: Windows 10 x64
- CPU: 4th generation or later i5/i7 64-bit x86 processor with AVX(2) support
- You can check with CPU-Z
- GPU: GTX 980 Ti or later
- You can check with GPU-Z
- RAM: 6GB or more
- Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019
Minimum:
- OS: Windows 7+ x64 (Linux/macOS not natively supported)
- Windows <10 support is limited. Don't expect anything to work.
- Runs on Linux with Wine.
- CPU: 64-bit x86 processor with AVX(2) support
- You can check with CPU-Z
- Pentiums and Celerons do not support AVX(2).
- GPU: Vulkan compatible GPU from this list or D3D12 compatible GPU
- You can check with GPU-Z
- D3D12 will only work on Windows 10 due to D3D12on7 and vkd3d not being supported.
- GPUs without ROV, and iGPUs in general will perform worse and possibly have more graphical issues.
- AMD GPUs also fall under this due to limited ROV support.
- RAM: 4GB
- 2017/2019 x64 Visual C++ Redistributable
Xenia doesn't require any Xbox 360 system files.
Xenia will check for the minimum supported CPU and GPU on startup and error out if one is not detected. Make sure that you have the latest drivers installed. You cannot just remove the checks in the code and assume things will work.
There are no magical workarounds to make Xenia work on your potato computer.
OpenGL and Direct3D11 or lower are not, and never will be supported.
Windows Update tends to lag behind, so download GPU drivers from your manufacturer:
Where do I download Xenia?
Xenia is sometimes detected as a virus. Ignore this, as it is a false positive.
Xenia Canary is a fork of Xenia with changes not present in master, such as the Unreal Engine workaround, etc.

Section 3. Importing games for use in Xenia
- Insert the USB drive into your PC. Go to
Content
.- If the USB drive appears empty enable Show hidden files and folders in Windows Explorer.
- Go into
00000#
. There will be folders with names consisting of lots of letters and numbers. You should find the game's folder within one of them. - The game will have a name with a bunch of letters and numbers just like the folders, and no file extension.
- XBLA games will be one file, GOD (disc) games will contain a file, along with a *.data folder with the same name.
- ContentCache.pkg is irrelevant. Ignore it.
- To confirm that it is indeed a game try opening the file in Xenia.
- Once you've made sure the file works in Xenia you can rename, or move the folder the game is in for convenience.
- *FOLDER ABOVE, NOT FILE or .DATA FOLDER!
- (Optional) If the game crashes you can try extracting the game using Velocity.
- If the game is extracted you will need to drag
default.xex
onto Xenia. - Some games have multiple .xex files, so if you can't find
default.xex
or it just doesn't work, try another one.
- *FOLDER ABOVE, NOT FILE or .DATA FOLDER!
Section 4. Activating games
By default Xenia runs ALL XBLA/digital games in demo/trial mode.
To run games in full/activated mode you need to change this option.
How to install DLCs
- Identify what the Game Title ID is. This can be identified by running the game in Xenia.
Documents\Xenia\TitleID\00000002
and their corresponding folder names.
