GoldenEye 007 Is Headed To Xbox Game Pass Too But It's Missing This Critical Feature

While no release date was announced, this came hot on the heels of Nintendo's most recent Nintendo Direct which also announced a re-release of the popular shooter for the N64 Classic Nintendo Switch software. The major difference between the two that we're aware of right now, is that the Switch is enabling Online play, while Microsoft is sticking to couch-play only. That said, historically the Nintendo Switch has been plagued with problems in multiplayer on its networks. Players are sometimes subjected to significant stutter and even complete disconnects.


The Xbox version will have the following features:

• The Complete Single Player and Multiplayer Game
• Dual Analog Stick Support
• Achievements
• Native 16:9 resolution with up to Ultra HD (4K) where supported
• Consistent Refresh Rate

Ultimately, Microsoft re-releasing the international super spy shooter has been rumored almost ever since they bought Rare Software in 2002. This means some fans of the game have been waiting quite some time for a sequel, remaster, or re-release like this. That's not to say there hasn't been rather solid alternative fan options in the meantime, but the real deal is always preferable. As of right now, it looks like the game will only be released for Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S via GamePass, and for people who have digital copies of Rare Replay. We have high hopes for this re-release, the screenshots look great so far, but we're excited for Nintendo's as well.
