GoldenEye 007 remaster for Xbox 360: Where to download and how to play on PC

A fully functional build of GoldenEye 007’s cancelled Xbox 360 remaster has leaked online and you can play it from start to finish without any trouble!

This ever-elusive GoldenEye 007 port for Xbox 360 appeared suddenly on YouTube a few days ago, when Spanish streamer Graslu00 posted a video of him playing a complete single-player campaign, as well as around half an hour of multiplayer.

This came as a huge surprise to gamers around the world because many have thought that the game wasn't ready when it was cancelled almost 13 years ago and that it was since then forever lost.

It turns out that the game is practically finished and in a working state, which begs the question: why wasn't it released?

This version is a faithful note-for-note recreation of the Nintendo 64 classic, but the remake also adds a lot of visual improvements in terms of new models, better textures and higher resolutions, and the best thing: James Bond finally looks like Pierce Brosnan!

Although the port is completely playable, Graslu00 encountered a few bugs here and there, like vanishing assets and issues with sound effects, but nothing too big or game-breaking.

The game also features a graphic-toggle button, which instantly switches between remastered and old graphics.

If all of this sounds exciting to you and you would like to try this remaster, the good news is that this version has leaked online and you can play it on your PC without any issues!

And not just that, but the game's legendary multiplayer is available as well, which means you can invite a friend and play with him on a split-screen. The game also features a "system link" mode, which allows you to connect directly with someone online and play the game online via services like XLink Kai.
