What is a .UASSET file?

UASSET is an asset for Unreal Engine, such as a mesh, texture or material. Created and opened by Unreal Engine.

Did you know
  • Unreal Engine dates back to the 1998 game Unreal and now powers games, film and architecture.
  • The .uasset format belongs to Epic Games’ Unreal Engine, which Tim Sweeney first wrote largely in C++ with the UnrealScript language.
  • When a project is cooked, an asset is split into a .uasset header plus a .uexp data file, and sometimes a .ubulk file for heavy bulk data.
What Analyser reads
Identify game-engine assets: Unity (UNITYPACKAGE), Unreal Engine (UASSET, UMAP), and Godot (TSCN, TRES).
Depth of analysis
.UASSET 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.
