The U file extension is associated with the Unreal Tournament, a classic first-person shooter video game developed by Epic Games and released in 1999. This fast-paced shooter game gathered millions of players, offer various levels of environment, weapons, and characters each divided into several classes. While the game play constitutes the main part of the Unreal Tournament package, several graphical assets are also included, notably map files with extension .U.
.U files are class package files that contain unit class definitions which define a unit's properties such as their size, their speed, armor level and more. The UT class package files also contain information on static mesh definitions as well as sound files and meshes used to render the different models for ambient objects in the game engine. Other file types used in Unreal Tournament include .INT, .USX, .UMX, .UNR, UBX, and .USF.
How to Open Files with U File Extension ?
To open .U class package files, players need to have an installed version of the original Unreal Tournament game. For modding purposes, there are also editors such as UnrealEd, a dedicated content creation tool for the Unreal Engine where users can modify existing UT maps as well as create custom ones. UnrealEd is compatible with Windows platforms and can be downloaded from various websites.
Programs for WINDOWS system

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .U) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .U extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .U file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .U extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .U extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .U file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .U file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .U file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .U file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .U file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
