Step 1: Download the CRACK
The first step is to find and download a reliable CRACK for Age of Empires: Definitive Edition. There are many websites that offer cracked games, but not all of them are trustworthy or safe. Some may contain viruses, malware, or unwanted programs that can harm your computer or steal your personal information.
One of the most popular and reputable websites for cracked games is Skidrow Games (skidrow-games.com). This website has a large collection of cracked games, including Age of Empires: Definitive Edition. To download the CRACK from Skidrow Games, follow these steps:
- Go to skidrow-games.com and search for “Age of Empires: Definitive Edition” in the search bar.
- Click on the link that says “Age of Empires: Definitive Edition-CODEX”. CODEX is the name of the group that created the CRACK.
- Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on one of the download links. You can choose from different file hosting services, such as Mega, Google Drive, or Torrent.
- Follow the instructions on the file hosting service to download the CRACK file. The file size is about 17 GB, so it may take some time depending on your internet speed.
Step 2: Install the CRACK
The next step is to install the CRACK on your computer. To do this, you will need a program that can extract compressed files, such as WinRAR or 7-Zip. You will also need to disable your antivirus software temporarily, as it may detect the CRACK as a threat and delete it.
To install the CRACK from Skidrow Games, follow these steps:
- Locate the downloaded CRACK file on your computer and right-click on it.
- Select “Extract here” or “Extract to Age.of.Empires.Definitive.Edition-CODEX” depending on your extraction program.

- Open the folder and double-click on the file named “setup.exe”. This will launch the installation wizard.
- Follow the instructions on the installation wizard to install the game on your computer. You can choose where to install the game and whether to create shortcuts or not.
- When the installation is complete, do not run the game yet. You need to copy the CRACK files first.
