What it is

Unleashed Recompiled is an unofficial PC port of the Xbox 360 version of Sonic Unleashed, created by static recompilation with XenonRecomp and XenosRecomp, which convert the original PowerPC code and shaders. It supports Windows and Linux with enhancements such as high resolutions, ultrawide support and high frame rates.

It does not include any game assets: you must provide the files from your own legally acquired copy.

What you need

Your original copy: Sonic Unleashed for Xbox 360, US or European version (the Japanese one is not supported), retail disc or digital copy, with the title update. The Adventure Pack DLC is optional but highly recommended. The project does not include game data.
  • A CPU with AVX instructions (Intel Sandy Bridge or AMD Bulldozer and newer).
  • A GPU with Direct3D 12.0 (Shader Model 6) or Vulkan 1.2: GeForce GT 630, Radeon HD 7750 (the 2012 one) or Intel HD 510 at minimum.
  • 8 GB of memory minimum.
  • Windows 10 (version 1909) or a modern Linux distro (Ubuntu 22.04 LTS).
  • Storage: 6 GiB without DLC, 10 GiB with DLC.

How to install and run it

  1. Get the game files from your Xbox 360 by following the project's dumping guides (hard drive or USB); you need an Xbox 360 and a storage device.
  2. Download the latest release from the releases page (the "Go to the official project" button).
  3. Run the project's installer and point it at the files from your copy.

Current limitations

  • The Japanese version is not supported.
  • Getting the files requires an Xbox 360 console and a transfer cable or adapter, depending on the method.
  • Its latest published release is 1.0.3 (March 2025); the repository is still receiving changes.

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 Microsoft Xbox 360 emulator: xenia and its install and setup guide.
