No game files are included: you need your own copy of the Xbox 360 game. Getting started is in the README.
King Kong Remastered: everything from the 17 beta versions, now on the stable line. Updating from 1.9.13 keeps your saves, settings and game files.
What's new
- Online co-op (early access): play the story with a friend. Choose Play Online Co-op on the Home screen, pick a chapter or one of your saves, and invite a Steam friend or share a 6 character code. Both games load the chapter together. It is still rough in places, and your reports help shape it.
- Our own renderer: the game is drawn with DirectX 12 (the default on Windows) or Vulkan, at your resolution, up to 8K.
- Modern graphics: global illumination, ambient occlusion, sharper shadows, water reflections, light shafts and HDR. The Original Xbox 360 look is one setting away.
- DLSS, FSR 3.1, FSR 4 and XeSS: only the upscalers your graphics card can run are listed.
- Any frame rate: the boat, the water, the fish, motion blur and the camera are right at high frame rates.
- Ultrawide is built in: 21:9 and 32:9 fill the whole width with nothing stretched, and the HUD and menus stay in the middle.
- The launcher is the main menu, with the game's own start menu scene live behind it: continue, start a new game or pick any of the 42 chapters.
- A new first time setup with Auto detect, which picks the recommended settings for your PC.
- Every setting explains itself: what it does, what it costs and its default.
- A new pause menu with settings, photo mode with a free camera, and brightness and gamma.
- The Workshop: texture packs such as HD, Kong UHD Textures and Comic Book, Kong mods with the built in Cel shading mod, and importing your own.
- Restored PS2 cutscenes between missions, the Weta Artbook and the user manual in Extras, and every bonus item unlocked.
- A built in benchmark on the main menu.
- Ready before you play: the shaders and 16,842 graphics pipelines are prepared before you start, from a list players helped build, so new places stutter far less.
- Updates install every file of a new version, and everything is put back as it was if something goes wrong.
- Linux (experimental): a native AppImage, also for the Steam Deck.
Changed since Beta 17
- Online co-op (early access) is new: no beta had it.
- More graphics pipelines are prepared before you play: the list that comes with the game now has 16,842.
- Six more TRG projects in the Workshop: AVP Evolution: PC Edition, Cartoon Network Racing, Muppet RaceMania, Trials: ReVolution Collection, Angry Birds: The Re-Hatched Collection and The Whopping Recompilation Collection.
