The .bio file extension is associated with Fallout, a role-playing and adventure game for Microsoft Windows.
A .bio file contains information about an in-game player character.
The format is tied to the Windows version of Fallout and is primarily of interest when maintaining or examining files belonging to that game.
Open the file through the Microsoft Windows version of Fallout, which reads its character files as part of the game. A .bio file normally does not need to be opened separately.
Text editors and general-purpose file viewers are not suitable for using the character data, and editing the file directly may make it unusable by the game.
There is no standard conversion from a Fallout .bio file to a document or a generally supported character format.
Keep the file with its Fallout installation and use the game to work with the associated character data. Direct editing or renaming is not a reliable conversion method.
