How this port works

This is a static recompilation: tooling mechanically translates the original console binary into PC code rather than rewriting the game by hand. The result runs natively, typically with an uncapped framerate and widescreen.

Unofficial static recompilation of Bayonetta 2 (Switch) for Windows. Builds the game on your PC from your own legally dumped copy. No game files, keys or SDK code included.

Frequently asked

Do I need the original game to play Bayonetta 2 on PC?

Yes. The project distributes no game data — you supply your own copy or dump. Every project in this scene works this way, and it is what lets them stay publicly hosted on GitHub.

What does "recompiled" mean?

This is a static recompilation: tooling mechanically translates the original console binary into PC code rather than rewriting the game by hand. The result runs natively, typically with an uncapped framerate and widescreen.

Will Bayonetta 2 run on a low-end PC?

Native ports and recompilations skip CPU emulation entirely, so they are usually far lighter than an emulator for the same console. With no published measurement for this project, though, any estimate would be guesswork — test it on your own machine.

When was Bayonetta 2 released?

The original game shipped in 2018, developed by PlatinumGames and published by Nintendo. This PC port is from 2026.

Which systems does it support?

The file names in the current release (v0.3.3) do not say which systems the builds are for, so this page claims none: check the release page. The game originally shipped on Nintendo Switch.

Is it legal to use?

The project is public and open source, maintained by K0NL, and contains nothing from the commercial game. Responsibility for the game copy you use is yours — which is why the developers require you to supply your own.
