| + | |release history = When the game received the 2.0 patch, it was rebranded as the '''''Black Edition''''' (differentiated by the black menus and key art instead of the original white ones, among else). | ||
| + | |||
| + | The Steam version was delisted on December 14, 2022 alongside other titles in the ''Unreal'' franchise, but was the only one to have an announcement for an update to the "X" edition with crossplay between Steam and the upcoming Epic Games Store and GOG.com releases. However, this release was silently cancelled on June 5, 2023.<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://steamdb.info/app/13210/history/?changeid=U:38937746|title=Unreal Tournament 3: Black Edition · Unreal Tournament 3 History · Change #U:38937746 · SteamDB|date=2023-06-06}}</ref><ref>{{Refurl|url=https://steamdb.info/app/13210/history/?changeid=U:38937747|title=Unreal Tournament 3: Black Edition · Unreal Tournament 3 History · Change #U:38937747 · SteamDB|date=2023-06-06}}</ref> | ||

Warnings
Unreal Tournament 3 is a singleplayer and multiplayer first-person action, FPS and shooter game in the Unreal series.
When the game received the 2.0 patch, it was rebranded as the Black Edition (differentiated by the black menus and key art instead of the original white ones, among else).
The Steam version was delisted on December 14, 2022 alongside other titles in the Unreal franchise, but was the only one to have an announcement for an update to the "X" edition with crossplay between Steam and the upcoming Epic Games Store and GOG.com releases. However, this release was silently cancelled on June 5, 2023.[2][3]
