Fan community announces it will revive Unreal Tournament 2004 with Epic’s blessing: ‘We’re doing this for free because we’re fans of the game and we like a challenge’

The fan community OldUnreal has announced plans to revive Unreal Tournament 2004 by publishing an installer that will allow players to download the original disc image, install the game, and apply necessary patches. The project aims to modernize the game for compatibility with Windows Vista or later, Linux x86-64 and aarch64, and Mac OS 10.9 or later, while also fixing bugs and implementing quality-of-life changes. The initiative is driven by passion rather than profit, with the team acknowledging the costs associated with server hosting and software licenses.

Capcom is removing Games for Windows Live from older PC titles to make them playable once more – KitGuru

Microsoft phased out Games for Windows Live (GFWL), which led to several Capcom titles being removed from PC platforms like Steam. Iconic games such as Ultra Street Fighter IV, Street Fighter X Tekken, Lost Planet 2, and Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City were delisted. Capcom is currently updating the backend of these games, with data intact in the database, allowing for potential reactivation. There is optimism that these titles could reappear on Steam before the end of the year. Capcom has shifted its focus toward the PC gaming market, achieving high sales for newer releases and reinvesting profits into reviving its older PC catalog.
