OpenRCT2

OpenRCT2 is an open-source project that re-engineers RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 for modern systems, transforming the classic 2002 theme-park simulator into a cross-platform sandbox that supports resolutions up to 4K, arbitrary framerates, and cooperative online play for up to 255 participants. The engine preserves the original isometric graphics and ride physics while adding cheats, a built-in scenario editor, custom scenery objects, and plug-in scripting in JavaScript and Lua, enabling users to design everything from gentle family parks to sprawling stunt-filled megaparks. Typical use cases include nostalgic players reliving campaigns, YouTubers recording cinematic walkthroughs, educators demonstrating physics or business concepts, and community teams collaborating on massive parks that run continuously on headless servers. Additional quality-of-life improvements include autosave, higher guest limits, native support for windowed and widescreen modes, integrated multiplayer chat, and compatibility with Windows, macOS, Linux, and several BSD variants. The project welcomes contributors who extend ride types, write custom AI, or translate the interface into more than forty languages. OpenRCT2 is available for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always installing the latest build and allowing batch installation alongside other applications.
