# ReCompiled Steel: a Real Steel static recompilation with Vulkan rendering

> ReCompiled Steel builds native Windows, Linux and Android versions of Xbox 360 Real Steel through ReXGlue static recompilation. Its game-specific Vulkan renderer consumes the Xbox command stream and shaders translated ahead of time; game code and shader caches are generated from the user's copy.
