GoldenEye 007, the classic James Bond-themed video game released back in 1997 as an N64 exclusive, will soon be available for modern gaming consoles like Nintendo Switch. The same is also coming to the Xbox game pass, which allows users to play access the title on Xbox Series X and Series X gaming consoles.

Do note that, the online multiplayer option will only be available on Nintendo Switch. This enables users to play the game with their friends and family remotely. Users with a Nintendo Switch Online subscription (which costs $50 a year) can access GoldenEye 007 for free. Similarly, users with Xbox game pass access will also be able to play the video game with no additional cost, which currently costs just Rs 50 for the first month.

Rare, which is the studio behind GoldenEye 007, released a game with an official license from the movie GoldenEye and it became the third best-selling title for the Nintendo 64 gaming console. The studio was then acquired by Microsoft in 2002 and is known for developing video games like Sea of Thieves.
