Unreal Tournament Epic Games Free to Play PC

Unreal Tournament is Now Free to Play on Internet Archive

Unreal and Unreal Tournament, the classic shooters that first displayed the power of the original Unreal Engine from Epic Games, are now free to play on Internet Archive for PC. Unreal went on to spawn an entire FPS franchise under Unreal Tournament, which was one of the biggest multiplayer games of the 2000s. If you’re itching to relive the glory days of the shooter, it’s now entirely free online.

Epic Games sent a statement to Polygon saying that it didn’t plan on limiting players from accessing Unreal and Unreal Tournament on the Internet Archive, saying you’re “free to independently link to and play these versions” if you want. You can head over to the Old Unreal website and grab both titles right now, free of charge, via Archive.org.

This is quite a big step in game preservation for Epic Games. Both Unreal games were delisted from storefronts in 2023 after Epic shut down the official servers for them. Thankfully, the community banded together to keep the games alive, creating dedicated community servers for each title. If you plan on jumping into online multiplayer matches for Unreal Tournament, at least there are still ways to play the game without official servers active.

In related news, rumours surfaced that Epic Games was permanently bringing back the OG Map from Fortnite. This week, the company confirmed that this was the case as it will now always be available for players to try out. This arrives in the wake of another rumour claiming that multiple new modes are coming to the game including an open-world mode. Epic Games has yet to make any official announcements regarding those leaked game modes, so we’ll have to wait and see what else is in store for players.

Unreal and Unreal Tournament are both free to play on PC and available directly from Epic Games.
