# Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Chaos Bleeds — an Xbox static recompilation for PC

> Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Chaos Bleeds — PC Port turns the 2003 Xbox game's code into a native Windows program with xboxrecomp. It replaces console graphics and input with Vulkan or Direct3D 11 rendering and XInput support, and provides an Android build. The launcher installs game data from the user's own PAL or NTSC Xbox disc image.
