What is a XUR file?

XUR files mostly belong to Xbox Development Tools. XUR files are used by the Xbox One system as internal resource files that store user interface data.
They define the layout and structure of the on-screen elements, which together form the Xbox One user interface.

They capture UI scene details such as positions, sizes, and states of elements.
They bundle settings and visual configurations into a binary format.
They are engineered for fast rendering and interaction on the console.

These files are not intended for traditional editing. Instead, they are managed with specialized Xbox development tools.
