Unreal Tournament is a 1999 first-person shooter game developed by Epic Games and Digital Extremes. The second installment in the Unreal series, it was first published by GT Interactive in 1999 for Windows, and later released on the PlayStation 2 and Dreamcast by Infogrames in 2000 and 2001, respectively. Players compete in a series of matches of various types, with the general aim of out-killing opponents. The PC and Dreamcast versions support multiplayer online or over a local area network. Free expansion packs were released, some of which were bundled with a 2000 re-release: Unreal Tournament: Game of the Year Edition.
Runs well on modern hardware.

I've played a lot more of this outside of Steam....hundreds of hours, probably. One of the best multiplayer shooters of all time. As of 2026, runs very well on Linux. I suggest switching to the OpenGL renderer, where it allowed my max resolution. I think the overall graphics quality is lower, but I prefer native resolution at full screen.
Since the original game came out in 1999 I have been coming back to this game on a regular base. It just has something that other games never achieved for me.
honestly, i'd rather play this, and 2k4, (and to a lesser extent 3) over that disaster fire of a tech demo that is UT4.
