Many gamers in the West will be surprised by the fact that the online tactical first-person shooter, CrossFire, is one of the highest-grossing video games of all time and up until recently, it was the world’s most-played video game by player count.<\/p>\n

That’s because this FPS, developed by Smilegate Entertainment, is predominately popular in the regions of East and Southeast Asia, particularly in South Korea and China, where the title boasts a huge player base.<\/p>\n

The game has been available in Europe and NA since 2011, but it has been struggling to find a footing and it never really catch on.<\/p>\n

But now, Microsoft, Remedy, and Smilegate are joining forces and bringing the game to consoles for the first time, giving it a second chance in the western market.<\/p>\n

This time around it’s coming in the form of CrossfireX, and it’s bringing a single-player campaign with it, which you will need to pay for, but some fans are hoping for it to become available on Xbox Game Pass.<\/p>\n

Is CrossfireX on Xbox Game Pass?<\/h2>\n

The original CrossFire game is a free-to-play title, which means that you can play the game completely free of charge, only with optional microtransactions which can also be grinded out.<\/p>\n

This will remain similar for CrossfireX’s multiplayer component, which will essentially be the same thing as CrossFire.<\/p>\n

All you need to do is to install the game on your Xbox One or Xbox Series X\/S, and you can start playing it, you don’t even need an Xbox Live subscription, because Xbox Live Gold is not required for online F2P multiplayer games since April 2021.<\/a><\/p>\n

But, when it comes to the single-player portion of the game, you will need to purchase the CrossfireX Ultimate Package<\/a>, which will cost you $30.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, if you are subscribed to Xbox Game Pass, we got great news for you! Microsoft has confirmed that the first CrossfireX single-player campaign, Operation: Catalyst, will be available on Xbox Game Pass on Day One!<\/strong><\/p>\n
