What is a .ARCHIVE file?
.ARCHIVE is a REDengine (Cyberpunk 2077) file (Games). Analyser identifies a .ARCHIVE file and reads the metadata in its header, right in your browser.
- Did you know
- The .archive is the main package format of Cyberpunk 2077, a single file bundling thousands of game assets that mod tools unpack.
- REDengine is CD Projekt Red's in-house engine, built for open-world games like The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077.
- Cyberpunk 2077 has a large modding community, and CD Projekt Red released REDmod tools that work with these engine files.
- What Analyser reads
- Identify CD Projekt Red REDengine 4 files from Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3: packed asset archives (.archive - RDAR header, version, index position/size and file count), compiled redscript caches (.redscripts), redscript/TweakXL source (.script, .tweak), add-on content keystones, and Cyberpunk's renamed Steam DLL (.rne). Also routes by magic the engine's Oodle-compressed blobs (oodle_dictionary.bin), per-platform shader caches (.cache) and the Inno Setup uninstall log (unins000.dat).
- Depth of analysis
- .ARCHIVE is an identification-grade format: Analyser recognises it from its bytes and decodes the header metadata it carries, rather than opening it in a full viewer. Formats that do get a full viewer are marked "Full" on the formats page.
- Open a .ARCHIVE file
- Drag a .ARCHIVE file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It is identified entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
