Crackdown PC Port (Xbox 360, Crackdown Recompiled)

Crackdown Recompiled is a native PC recompilation of Crackdown (Xbox 360) with enhanced graphics, high frame rates, modern display support, keyboard and mouse, a full launcher, offline achievements and language selection. It runs natively on Windows (Direct3D 12) and, experimentally, on Linux and Steam Deck with Vulkan, with no Proton or Wine.

It is not an emulator and it does not include any game assets: you must provide the data from your own copy. It offers render resolution up to 4x, aspect ratios from 16:10 to 32:9 and a launcher that checks every file on your disc against a table for the exact version it supports.

• 64-bit Windows 10 or 11, a DirectX 12 GPU and the Visual C++ 2015-2022 (x64) redistributable.
• Linux x86_64 or Steam Deck (experimental): glibc 2.31 or newer, a Vulkan driver and an X11 or Wayland desktop.
• About 6.1 GiB of game files.

1. Download the Windows zip from the releases page (the "Go to the official project" button) and extract it somewhere you can write to.
2. Run crackdown.exe; on the Play page click "Install from disc image…" (or "Install from folder…") and pick your disc.
3. On Linux, use the AppImage with the same install from the launcher.

• Only that exact game version, without a title update, is supported.
• Linux and Steam Deck are experimental.
• The published releases are 0.x.
• The original game is aimed at an adult audience: check its age rating before playing.

If your computer does not meet the requirements, you do not have the exact version the port asks for, or you prefer the classic route, you can play the original with a Microsoft Xbox 360 emulator: xenia and its install and setup guide.
