What is a .OSZ file?

An .OSZ file is a type of file used by the rhythm game osu!, which is available for free. In osu!, players interact with the game by clicking and dragging items on the screen in time with music. The .OSZ file contains all the necessary components for a game level, or "beatmap," including music, graphics, and timing information. This file is compressed using Zip format to make it easier to share and download.

Players of osu! can create their own custom beatmaps and save them as .OSZ files. These files can then be shared with other players, allowing for a wide variety of music tracks and gameplay styles within the game community.

To open an .OSZ file, you can use several programs: - **osu!**: This is the primary program designed to use .OSZ files. It's a game that runs on Windows where players can play, create, and share beatmaps. - **opsu!**: An open-source version of osu! that is available for multiple platforms including Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android. This allows players who do not have Windows to still enjoy osu! beatmaps. - **McOsu**: Another variant of osu! that is available on Steam and supports virtual reality (VR). This program also uses .OSZ files for its beatmaps. - **Corel WinZip**, **7-Zip**, and **Apple Archive Utility**: These are general file decompression programs that can open the Zip-compressed data in .OSZ files. While these programs can extract the files, they do not allow you to play the beatmap as intended in the game.

If you are using a device that does not support osu! directly, such as non-Windows computers or mobile devices, you can use opsu! or McOsu to open and play .OSZ files. These alternatives provide similar gameplay experiences and allow more players to enjoy the game across different platforms.
