SmileGate's New Free to Play Xbox Exclusive FPS CrossFireX Officially Launches

SmileGate, the South Korean gaming company behind Lost Ark and CrossFire, launched CrossFireX globally today exclusively on Xbox. CrossFireX is a free to play tactical FPS game. The multiplayer content is free to play, but the story content must be purchased to access. If the game does well on Xbox, I expect a PC release in the near future.

While CrossFire isn't exactly a household name in the West, the franchise is easily the most successful FPS franchise in the world thanks to its massive success in Asia, regularly earning over $1b a year. This new CrossFire game features 'cutting-edge storytelling' from Remedy Entertainment, the studio best known for Control, Alan Wake, and Max Payne.
