today has been presented the return of a legendary IP for the first time on Xbox, but it turns out that GoldenEye 007 will not include online multiplayer on Xbox. Unfortunately, the game will be limited to four-player local multiplayer only. In an article on the official James Bond website, it is mentioned that the online game will be “exclusive” to the Nintendo Switch version. This is certainly unfortunate news for fans.
That’s right, it’s a fact that GoldenEye 007 will not include online multiplayer on Xbox. The online game will be exclusive to the new version for Switch of the 1997 title, that is, of the non-remastered version. Surely this is part of the agreements that Xbox, Rare and Nintendo have made.
GoldenEye 007 will not include online multiplayer on Xbox
Although at first it was a mistake to assume that GoldenEye 007 will not include online multiplayer on Xbox, because the in-game item had been changed a few times since its announcement, so there was a chance that I was wrong. But Rare was promoting the game on the Xbox website without saying anything regarding online multiplayer, so the message was already clear. And we didn’t have to wait long. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed this in a statement today.

Here is the statement in full: “While there are no plans to include online multiplayer as part of GoldenEye 007 on Xbox Game Pass, Xbox is focused on bringing this title to gamers in ways they fondly remember, including multiplayer.” local, allowing up to four players to take to the couch in a battle of wits and skill.” So there you have it. Unfortunately, the Online multiplayer will not be included in GoldenEye 007 when it comes to Xbox Game Pass. And it won’t come later either.
