Before you switch

Open-source games and engine recreations often need the original game’s data files, which you must own separately. Check the project’s wiki for exactly which version is supported before downloading anything. Performance is usually excellent on modest hardware, and mods can extend these games far beyond their commercial origins.

Like every project on OpenShelf, OpenRCT2 is developed in the open — you can read the code, follow development, and even contribute. Check the system requirements and the project’s own documentation linked on this page before installing.
