Rare’s GoldenEye 007 remaster heads to Xbox and Switch this week

All through last year, we heard rumours that Rare was remastering its classic N64 shooter, GoldenEye 007, for Xbox consoles. As it turns out, this revamped version of the game is heading to both Xbox and Nintendo Switch, and it will be available later this week.

Months on from the official announcement, Nintendo and Microsoft have today announced that GoldenEye will be available on Nintendo Switch via the Nintendo Online Expansion Pack, and on Xbox consoles. Unfortunately, it has already been confirmed that this version of the game won't include online multiplayer.

The remaster will retain all of the original title’s features, including the campaign, local split-screen multiplayer, and even all of the cheats available within the original N64 game. That being said, it will also be ‘Enhanced’ with some modern conveniences such as dual analogue stick support; native 16:9 aspect ratio, up to 4K resolution, a stable frame rate and game achievements.

GoldenEye 007 will be available through Xbox Game Pass and anyone who already owns the Rare Replay bundle on Xbox consoles will also get access to the game through a free update.
