About

Retail Xbox 360 Gears of War 2 statically recompiled from the player's own default.xex to native x64 code with the ReXGlue SDK. It is not emulation, and the release contains none of the game's assets. You must own the game.

Features listed by the project include native high resolution (1440p or 4K internal), FSR upscaling, FSR 4 and FSR 3.1 temporal upscaling (off by default), keyboard and mouse controls, community game patches, texture pack support, and experimental System Link co-op. Act 1 is playable; a full campaign play-through is not yet confirmed.

The release targets Windows 10/11 x64 with a DirectX 12 GPU. The first launch asks for the game folder, which can also be passed with --game_data_root. Early release (v0.1.1) with known issues listed in the README.
