News In One Week's Time, We'll Be Losing This Xbox Exclusive Forever
Game over
The story of CrossfireX is a sad one. At one point, it seemed like the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S exclusive shooter was going to be a major hit on the platform, but a poor launch saw the game crowned the worst Xbox release of 2022 (according to Metacritic), and that was followed up by an apparently rapid loss of players following its...

News The 'Worst Xbox Game Of 2022' Is Slowly Starting To Make A Comeback
It's improved a lot since launch
It's no exaggeration to say that CrossfireX ended up being a huge disappointment when it arrived on Xbox earlier this year, getting awful reviews and becoming Metacritic's worst Xbox game of 2022 - it'll probably stay that way, too. However, in the interest of fairness, that Metascore of 38 doesn't represent how...
News Remember CrossfireX? It's Added A New Map & More In July's Update
Yes, it's still kickin'
Ah, we have to admit we'd sort of forgotten about CrossfireX. The first-person shooter, co-developed by famous developer Remedy, launched earlier this year and was incredibly disappointing. Even more so the multiplayer, created by Smilegate, which barely functioned at launch. Well, since then the team has been steadily...

"We will continue to develop CFX with content updates and balance adjustments"

News Digital Foundry's CrossfireX Breakdown Shows Xbox One X Ahead Of Series S
Project Scorpio

Roundup Here's What The Critics Are Saying About CrossfireX

CrossfireX launched on Xbox and Game Pass last week, and while plenty of impressions have been reported across the web so far (including our own of the campaign), the reviews with final scores have taken a lot longer to surface.
