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.

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.

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.
