Convert XAS to another file type
To convert XAS Audio files to another format, you need PTC Creo or other Audio software.
Convert a file to XAS
To convert other file formats to the "Game Voice Audio File" file type, you need software like PTC Creo or a similar tool.
About XAS files
The .XAS file extension primarily represents Game Voice Audio files used by classic video games such as Max Payne and Mafia. A secondary use is the Assembly Instance Accelerator file format utilized by PTC Creo (formerly Pro/ENGINEER) to dramatically speed up the loading of generic 3D assemblies. Both implementations of the .XAS format are highly proprietary and highly restrictive. Game audio variants use legacy, closed-source compression algorithms that modern media players cannot natively read. Pro/ENGINEER accelerator files are deeply tethered to specific CAD assemblies. They cannot be opened independently outside the PTC ecosystem, requiring an expensive enterprise software subscription. Because these files are tightly closed, standard online converters fail to process them. If you are modifying game audio, extracting the files to standard .WAV, .MP3, or .OGG formats is the best solution for external playback. For CAD professionals, you must export the master assembly directly from the original software to universal formats like .STEP or .IGES, though instance acceleration data itself will not convert. Just drag and drop your file into convert.guru to identify the format, view its internal structure, and convert it when possible. This file format is difficult to open or convert because often only the original software can properly read or export the data. However, if our analysis detects a supported underlying audio wrapper or embedded CAD metadata, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your XAS file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert XAS file to CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, INI, CFG, CONF, DAT, DB or SQL, you can use PTC Creo or similar software from the "Game Audio or CAD Accelerator" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DBF, XML, SQLITE, XLSX, SQL, TSV, ACCDB, YAML, MDB, CSV, ODS or JSON files to XAS, try PTC Creo or another comparable tool in the "Game Audio or CAD Accelerator" category.
The XAS Converter Story
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our XAS converter.
