Epic Games allows free download of Unreal and Unreal Tournament on Internet Archive

The classic games Unreal and Unreal Tournament are now available for free on the Internet Archive, with permission from Epic Games. This allows fans to download and play these iconic titles without charge. The fan group Old Unreal announced the availability on October 29 and has provided special installers for easier setup on modern Windows systems. While official servers were shut down in January 2023, community servers remain active. Unreal, released in 1998, and its 1999 sequel Unreal Tournament were groundbreaking in their graphics and gameplay. Epic Games had previously removed these games from online stores, but their preservation is now supported by the company.
