Unreal Tournament 2004 is now available for free thanks to its fan community, and they’ve even updated the game for modern PCs: ‘This is the first public patch for Unreal Tournament 2004 in over 20 years’

Epic Games has allowed the Internet Archive to host its classic titles, including Unreal Gold and the original Unreal Tournament, making them accessible for download. The revival of Unreal Tournament 2004 has been released for free with Epic's endorsement, led by the OldUnreal community project. Players need to download the game installer and the OldUnreal community patch from GitHub to modernize the game for contemporary operating systems. The patch includes numerous fixes and improvements, making it the first public patch for Unreal Tournament 2004 in over 20 years. Unreal Tournament 2004 features visual enhancements, a broader array of game modes, and introduced vehicle-based Onslaught modes and the objective-driven Assault mode. Although finding multiplayer matches may be challenging, the game's robust AI allows for solo play. The community patch supports online games except on servers with AntiTCC.

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.
