Game Extractor
What Game Extractor is
Game Extractor opens game archive files so you can inspect their contents and extract files to a PC. Its maker lists support for archives from over 5,700 games across PC, mobile, and console platforms, including games built with Unity 3D, Unreal Engine, and Value Source Engines. The free Basic Version reads archives and extracts files. The Full Version costs $10, paid once and adds archive editing and saving, previews for many image, audio, and 3D mesh files, image and mesh conversion, thumbnails, and a scanner that can search unknown or unsupported archives for images and audio. Optional FFmpeg and Java Media Framework integrations can extend audio and video previews. All versions require the 32-bit Java Runtime Environment 8, which the site says comes with the application. Game Extractor runs on Windows. Some archives from supported games may not open, and edited archives are not guaranteed to work in games, so the maker advises keeping the original as a backup. Tutorials and in-program help are available.
