On Friday, Goldeneye 007<\/em> is finally getting an official re-release<\/u><\/a> after 27 years of being stuck on the Nintendo 64. What\u2019s even better is that it\u2019s available via the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack<\/u><\/a> subscription ($50\/year) and Xbox Game Pass<\/u><\/a> ($10\/mo), so you don\u2019t even have to buy it if you already pay for one of those services.<\/p>\n

However, it should be noted that these appear to be two different versions of the game with some major differences. Particularly of note is that online multiplayer is exclusive to the Switch version; if you want to recreate all those college dorm room deathmatches with your homies who all live in different cities now, you can\u2019t do that on Xbox.<\/p>\n

What you can <\/em>do on Xbox is play the game in 4K and widescreen with new control options to make it feel more like a modern shooter. It\u2019s also got achievements so you can boost your Gamerscore using all those tricks you used to beat the game a quarter of a century ago.<\/p>\n

Of course, the Xbox version has split-screen multiplayer, so if your homies all live in the same city, you can make that dorm room magic happen again. Just remember: No screen-peeking, and no Oddjob.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
