Unreal Tournament 2004 is was an incredibly popular game, and pioneered some amazing technology for its time. On January 24th 2023 Epic Games decided to shut down their master servers for their classic titles. As expected the community felt betrayed. Fortunately, as of late 2025, Epic Games did approve OldUnreal to manage Unreal Tournament 2004’s patches into the future, much like they did for Unreal Tournament Game of the Year. 

When the news of the shutdown hit the PWC-Gaming community, we thought there needed to be a website that people could get a list of active online servers, thus this website was created. Shortly after, we realized that OpenSpy’s project has been bringing GameSpy games back from the dead for a while, with UT2004 on the list. They reverse engineered the Master Server. While other communities like 333 Networks did the same thing, we tried to unify the community to connect to the first stable option. 

Fortunately, now with new community patches in the works, you don’t even have to think about it. It will poll from multiple servers to make sure you’re getting a full server list. The game is also free to download for players.

** As of 2/17/26 we are waiting for a final version of the first patch. Until then we will not recommend installing it, as there are known edge-case issues. The team is working very hard to take care of glitches to the best of their ability. If you’re feeling daring, check it out here.
