The XAS file extension is a data format associated with Axialis Screensaver Producer. It is used for files that contain all images, animations, audio files, and settings that comprise a screensaver.

XAS Screensaver Files

Once installed, opening and using an XAS file is as straightforward as loading the file into the software and using the options provided to customize the screensaver to your liking.

XACT Sound Bank Files

In another context, XAS files are also used by Microsoft Audio Creativity as a format for XACT Sound Bank files. These are audio data files used by video games developed with Microsoft's XNA Game Studio. They cannot be opened and edited in the same way as the screensaver files mentioned above.

Again, using the software's built-in tools, you can open, explore, and potentially modify the sound data stored in these XAS files.
