Utilising the technical prowess of the Xboxâ„¢ video game system from Microsoft
and Xbox Live!, Digital Extremes, the developers of Unreal Championship in conjunction
with Epic Games and Atari have completed the auto-update for the game and is available
for download through Xbox Live! today.

While new to the console arena, auto-updating has been a mainstay of PC games
for many years, and is a requirement to maintain fair and fun online gaming.
Online games are extraordinarily more complex than single player titles. Exploits
will invariably be found by the hundreds of thousands of gamers playing and
sharing ways to gain an advantage in the game. Auto-updates defeat these exploits
and balance the playing field against those who would cheat to win. . . . .

This auto-update addresses current exploits with the Translocator, the T.A.G.
rifle, the Link gun, auto-aim and team balancing issues, as well as a number
of performance enhancements and an improved stats system. The full list of improvements
can be found at the official Unreal Championship forum, on the Atari Web site
at www.atari.com.

How does the auto-update work? The auto-update is a mandatory download and
takes place as soon as a player enters Xbox Live! to compete in Unreal Championship
online. The system automatically detects that the game needs to be updated and
installs the software onto the Xbox hard drive.

In addition, the first downloadable content for Unreal Championship will be
available shortly after the update.

Digital Extremes, Epic Games and Atari would like to thank all
of the fans of Unreal Championship for providing the valuable feedback needed
to make the game even better.
