What file format is application called

[Going_AFK]

As in like .doc but what is it for games this is because of a course I have to do please can you help, thank you

No clue what you are saying but if you want to know what file format Games use: A whole damn lot. Games aren't one file. They are a lot of files. Right click a game in steam -> properties -> tab local files, [Browse local files] button. It'll show you how the games are on your computer.

 

If you are on a mac, it might seem they are only one file (an .app) but that essentially is just a folder. You can right click and click "show contents" to get to the juicy part.

 

On Windows, the file you click to start the game in an .exe this is en executable, it uses all kinds of different files to get to what you want. Save files for example aren't stored as an .exe but something else. This differs per game.

 

And please, learn how to write a whole sentence.

Executable applications have the .exe filetype

There is a difference between grammar nazi's and you writing incomprehensible gibberish what we are complaining about.

 

Take your time to make readable text or just don't write.

Most likely OP was in the middle of test or class and wanted to know the answer ASAP so instead of asking google, he ask here.
