What is a .XGT file?
An .XGT file is a special kind of picture file used in some video games. These games are made with something called the Exient XGS Engine, which is a tool that helps developers create games. The picture in an XGT file is used for things like the background or objects in the game. It can be a simple picture without any squeezing to make it smaller (uncompressed), or it can be squeezed into a smaller size (compressed) to save space. The squeezing can be done in different ways, using methods named RGA 8888, RGBA4444, ETC1, DXT1, ATC, or PVRTC.
Games like Angry Birds Go! and Angry Birds Transformers use these XGT files for their graphics. That means when you're playing these games, the cool visuals you see are often stored in XGT files.
To open an XGT file, you would typically need to be playing one of the games that use them, like the Angry Birds games mentioned. These games are available on devices like iPhones (iOS) and Android phones. However, it's important to note that some versions of these games might not be available anymore (discontinued), which means you can't download them if you didn't have them before they were removed from the app stores.
