How to play Unreal Gold split screen on PC
Get Nucleus Co-op
Download Nucleus Co-op, free for Windows 10 and 11, and unzip it into its own folder, for example C:\NucleusCo-op. There is no installer.
Keep it out of Program Files, your user folder and OneDrive.
Install the Unreal Gold handler
In Nucleus Co-op, search the Hub for Unreal Gold and install its handler, or download the handler file from this page and drop it on the Nucleus window. Then show Nucleus where Unreal Gold is installed.
Take a seat
Each player presses a button on their own controller to join and takes a spot on the screen. Pick a layout that fits your players.
Launch and connect
Press Launch: Nucleus opens one copy of Unreal Gold per player and lays the windows out on your screen. Then link them in game, usually one player hosts a LAN or online session and the others join it. The handler notes say how.
What you need
- A Windows 10 or 11 PC
Nucleus Co-op runs on Windows only. System requirements

- A PC that can run 4 copies
Each player runs their own copy of Unreal Gold, so the PC carries several times the usual load. Lower the graphics settings if it struggles. Performance tips

Handler notes
Requires OldUnreal's 227i patch to function properly. Alt tab and use the keyboard to navigate the UI in all instances. If you want to play this with xbox one pads just connect an old xbox360 wired pad before the game starts, or try XOutput.
