The SXB file type is primarily associated with Elsword.

SXB	File extension: SXB
	File type:	data file

What is an SXB file?

SXB files mostly belong to Elsword. Use Case 1: Game Localization: This SXB file is often a localized string game data file used by games to store the text for menus, dialogues, and other in‐game messages. Companies such as Elsword, String Extractor, and Sword of the New World use these files to support multiple languages.

If the file belongs to a game, it is meant to be read by the game engine and not edited manually.

Use Case 2: Application Settings Backup
Some SXB files work as backups for application settings. For example, ShareX saves its configuration in this format using a ZIP container.

If you see a SXB file from ShareX, try renaming it with a .zip extension and use a ZIP extractor to view its contents.

FilExt.com note: Examine the file’s origin to know which application is needed to open it properly.

How can I open an SXB file?

You need a suitable software like Elsword to open an SXB file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert.

SXB file format details:

To find out what program is needed to open SXB files, you need to determine the file format. The first characters in a file identify the file format, for example, HTML files start with the bytes <html>. However, different programs can use the same file extension. Furthermore, a file extension can be renamed incorrectly and double-clicking on it will then display an error when it is opened.

SXB is not a common file extension and covers different formats for different programs. But the following two file formats are common:

25% of all SXB files start with the bytes 04 00 01 crucial for this file format. These are binary files, so they do not contain words or text. A typical file size is 300 KB. The keywords type and typename are typical for these files. Such files sometimes refer to localstringdata, item, skill, dialog and quest.
20% of all SXB files start with the magic bytes 07 00 01 03 6B 65 79 01, which are always the first bytes of this file format. If you open these files in a text editor, you will see only illegible characters. The average file size is 160 KB with most files being between 2 KB and 600 KB in size. Several words can almost always be found in the files, e.g. chinese, eng_2, korean, koreanorg and eng_3. Examples of file names are localstringdata_buff.sxb. These files are often associated with buff and enpc.
