What is an HXC file?

HXC files mostly belong to Psych Engine. An HXC file may serve two distinct purposes.

Mod file use: This version is used in Friday Night Funkin' mods. It works with a Psych Engine modding script where the file holds mod data that alters game behavior. You can find such mods on sites like GameBanana.

Help collection file use: In another case, the file is an XML-based help collection. It stores help topics for use with Microsoft Help 2.0 Runtime and is viewed with Microsoft Help Viewer.

FilExt.com tip: If you have an HXC file, checking its content with a text editor can help you decide which tool to use to open it.

How can I open an HXC file?

You need a suitable software like Psych Engine to open an HXC 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. If you cannot open your HXC file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a HXC file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
