What it is

OpenRCT2 is an open-source reimplementation of RollerCoaster Tycoon 2, the construction and management game that simulates running an amusement park. The project publishes stable and development builds, is released under the GPL-3.0 license and has an active Discord community with channels for players, developers and translation.

It is an engine: to play you need the files from your original copy of the game. GigaROM hosts neither the engine nor the game; the download comes from the official page.

What you need

Your original copy: Your own original copy of RollerCoaster Tycoon 2. The project does not include game data.
  • Windows, Linux, macOS or Android.
  • Your own original copy of RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 (the game files).

How to install and run it

  1. Download the latest release from the official page (“Go to official project” button) or from openrct2.io.
  2. Install it and point it to the folder with your original copy when the program asks.
  3. Open OpenRCT2 and play; community guides cover mods and assets.

Current limitations

  • It needs the original game’s files to work.
  • Development builds bring new features that may be less stable.

Port or emulator?

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 console emulator: see emulators and its install and setup guide.
