This announcement was made by Rare Ltd. themselves, who were excited to launch the HD remake to the fans along with much smoother frame rates, 4K resolution, achievements, and even the local split-screen feature.

Although fans were excited about the split screen feature for the online playing experience, insider Tom Henderson hinted that the online feature might not be available for the Xbox Game Pass. This brought a lot of backlash as even after so many years, fans couldn’t play their favorite game in online multiplayer.

Why is Goldeneye 007 so much hyped?

The sales for the 1997 game reveal a lot about the 1995 James Bond-inspired video game. With almost eight million units sold worldwide, the game at that time became the third most sold N64 game. According to reports, the game grossed over $250 million worldwide.

Now the HD remake of the game is said to be following the same hype train that it got back then by bringing back the iconic Pierce Brosnan James Bond to the gaming world.
