# Urban Reign PC Port: a PS2 static recompilation

> Urban Reign PC Port translates the USA PlayStation 2 game's code into C++ for native Windows and Linux builds. It uses the PCSX2 renderer through DirectX 11 or Vulkan and adds higher internal resolutions, widescreen display and multiplayer controls. Code generation reads the user's own SLUS-21209 disc image.
