During the first two weeks the game was available, September 29 to October 12, Unreal Tournament 2003 ranked as the #1 PC game, excluding expansion packs, according to NPDTechworld.

James Schmalz, founder and creative director of Digital Extremes, adds that ?seeing the resounding success of the game at retail is the ultimate reward for the team at Digital Extremes and Epic that spent long hard hours making sure it was truly a worthy successor to the original.?
