The bk2 file extension identifies video data encoded with Bink 2. Bink 2 is the second major version of RAD Game Tools' Bink video technology and is separate from the company's Smacker format.
A bk2 file usually stores pre-rendered game video, such as cinematics, menus or other playback sequences. Bink 2 is much faster than Bink 1 and supports high-resolution video, including 4K frames at up to 3840 x 2160 pixels.
BK2 files are used by games including F1 2015 for Microsoft Windows, XCOM 2 on multiple platforms and DiRT Rally for Microsoft Windows. The format remains associated primarily with video assets bundled with games rather than with general-purpose video editing.
On Microsoft Windows, use RAD Video Tools to play or inspect a bk2 file. The tool is also associated with the Bink 2 format used by the games that contain these files.
On other platforms, BK2 files are normally played by the game that includes them, such as XCOM 2. A game may not provide a way to open its video files independently.
RAD Video Tools can convert supported Bink 2 video files to other video formats. Conversion may be useful for viewing or editing the footage outside the game.
Converting a BK2 file back into a game-ready file is not a general-purpose export operation and may require the original game's tools or asset pipeline.
