Unofficial Android port of Unreal Tournament (1999), based on the v400 engine and forked from Andiweli/UT99-Android. It runs v400 game data, and this fork also adds support for OldUnreal 469 game files, an in-app installer for the official GOTY data, the French localization and a controller-first console menu.

Note
French translation. The game plays in French when the app's language is French
(device language, or the per-app language setting on Android 13+), using the official
French localization (.frt) of the game data.
Le jeu passe en français quand l'app est en français (langue du téléphone, ou langue
par application sous Android 13+), avec la traduction officielle (.frt).
Important
No game data is included. You need a legally obtained copy of Unreal Tournament. This project is not official and is not endorsed by Epic Games. Unreal Tournament, Unreal Engine and related trademarks are owned by Epic Games.
Each release ships two signed APKs built from the same master branch:
| APK | Menu |
|---|---|
…-console-menu-release.apk |
Console/phone menu: large entries, D-pad navigation, map previews, text entry kept above the Android keyboard. Recommended with a gamepad. |
…-classic-menu-release.apk |
Original UT99 menu (UWindow). |
Both share the same native engine, fixes and game data. Installing one variant replaces the other and keeps your data and settings.
Game data
- Official GOTY install from the app: downloads the GOTY disc (OldUnreal
mirrors or archive.org, MD5 checked) and the latest OldUnreal patch. Only data
files are kept: no
.exeor.dll. - Language chosen at install time: English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese, Greek. The disc's localized voices (French, Spanish, Italian) are kept for the chosen language.
- Import your own files (folder or ZIP), v400 or 469.
- Install to internal storage, a microSD card or any folder. A folder that already holds a valid game can be used in place, without copying.
In-game Android settings (gear icon, top right)
- Touch controller: "Automatic (without a physical controller)", "Always show" or "Hide"; opacity from 20 to 100 %; edit and reset the layout.
- Game language (restarts automatically).
- Game data location.
Controls
- Android gamepads (Xbox, AYN handhelds, Retroid, OUYA…).
- RetroTouch touch controller for playing without a gamepad.
- Keyboard and mouse (tested on Chromebook).
Multiplayer
- LAN games and Internet games through the server browser.
- The client advertises network version 436: it joins 432 and 436 servers (and 469 servers that accept 436 clients).
- Join by IP address; missing packages are downloaded from the server.
OldUnreal 469 compatibility
- The Android engine is a v400 base that also loads 469f system packages. The fixes (map loading, interface sounds, newer script parameters, networking…) are documented in docs/GOTY_COMPATIBILITY.md.
Note
Known limitations: some mods and server protections (anti-cheat, recent mods) do not work; servers that require a 469 client are not reachable; some map triggers and events may still not start correctly. Rendering uses OpenGL ES (no Vulkan).
- Download and install either APK from the latest release.
- Start Unreal Tournament.
- If no game data is found, the installer screen offers:
- Download and install GOTY (OldUnreal): choose the language and the location, then the app downloads the GOTY disc (about 650 MB) and the OldUnreal patch;
- Select UT99 folder or Select UT99 ZIP for your own files. If the selected folder already holds a valid game, Use this folder keeps it in place.
- The game starts automatically once the data is in place.
Required folders for a manual import:

./gradlew assembleNormalRelease assembleClassicRelease
python tools/check_menu_variants.py
normal builds the console menu and classic the original UT99 menu.
tools/check_menu_variants.py checks that both APKs share the same native
libraries, resources, assets and manifest. The console menu package
(UT99ConsoleMenu.u) is rebuilt with tools/build_console_menu.ps1 and a v400
UCC. See also BUILD-FLAVORS.md.
