Question 1

Is Renegade X free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Renegade X is a free standalone release from Totem Arts. It does not require Command & Conquer: Renegade, Steam, the EA app, or another paid base game.

Question 2

How large is Renegade X?

Accepted Answer

Plan for roughly 45 GB of free storage. The official minimum calls for 8 GB RAM and a DirectX 9-compatible graphics card; an SSD, 16 GB RAM, and a modern NVIDIA 1000-series-class GPU are recommended.

Question 3

How does multiplayer work?

Accepted Answer

Public and community-hosted matches appear through the official Totem Arts master server. Standard Command & Conquer matches support up to 64 players, with the exact limit controlled by each server.

Question 4

Does Renegade X support controllers?

Accepted Answer

Not as a supported first-class feature in the current PC release. Use keyboard and mouse. Community mappings may exist, but PlayBound does not mark controller support from an unofficial workaround.

Question 5

Does Renegade X have multiplayer?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Renegade X supports up to 64 players. You can join a public community server from the PlayBound server browser and host a game on your own PC. PlayBound Connect handles the setup: start a party with your friends, pick how you want to play, and everyone launches into the same game from the PlayBound launcher. It also supports LAN play. There is no subscription and no paid multiplayer tier.
