A .U file is a compiled script package for games built on early versions of the Unreal Engine (UE1-UE3). It contains UnrealScript code, which defines game logic, character behaviors, and object properties. Modders and developers interact with these files to create custom content or alter game mechanics in classic titles.

The package also includes metadata, such as class dependencies and object references.
