Cult shooter GoldenEye 007 is coming to Game Pass and Switch Online this week

GoldenEye 007 is finally coming to modern consoles.

The James Bond game GoldenEye 007 is undoubtedly one of the absolute classics of shooter history. However, not in Germany, where the title was indexed for many years because it was classified as harmful to young people. He was only thrown off the index in 2021 and 26 years later he finally makes it onto modern consoles. If you have a subscription to Nintendo Switch Online with the Expansion Pass or Game Pass on Xbox, you don’t even have to pay anything extra for the title.

• When is GoldenEye 007 coming to Xbox and Switch? On January 27, 2023

Only in Switch Online with online multiplayer

The N64 classic appears for the Nintendo Switch as well as Xbox One and Series X/S, but there are some differences between the versions. So you get an online mode on the switch that lets you play with up to four people. On Xbox, on the other hand, there is only local multiplayer with split screen.

For that we can speak loudly announcement You can also look forward to new achievements, 4K resolution, support for both analog sticks and a constant frame rate on the Xbox version. Both versions also support widescreen in 16:9.

That’s what it’s about: Although the game is now clearly showing its age, GoldenEye 007 is worth looking at as a classic in video game history alone. In the game you slip into the role of the eponymous spy James Bond and follow the plot of the film template.

In a love letter to the game, colleague Kai explains why GoldenEye 007 is still so important today:
