Per Craig Duncan of Rare: 'The original experience has been updated with improved control options (including dual analogue stick support), native 16:9 resolution up to 4K Ultra HD (where supported), a consistent refresh rate and a full complement of achievements to unlock.' This version – on Xbox, of course – includes achievements, 4K resolution and a smoother framerate and, per the developer, will even let you play in split-screen local multiplayer.

It seems from the wording of the Rare tweets that Xbox users will get a version of the game that has been 'faithfully recreated for Xbox consoles'. There's no release date listed just yet, but a tweet from developer Rare confirms that the game will be 'coming soon'.

The title is a remaster of the cult classic Nintendo 64 title first hit consoles way back in 1997. Here, you could set parameters allowing everything from regular weapons, bare-handed only, to the one-shot kill of the Golden Gun.During today's Nintendo Direct, the Japanese company announced today that Rare is releasing GoldenEye 007 HD on Nintendo Switch and Xbox. Then there’s the smashing multiplayer mode, offering four-player deathmatches on one screen, something which many 90s gamers spent hours on, myself included. GoldenEye 007 doesn’t follow the story entirely accurately, but many of the game’s stages are based on film locations and the basic plot is the same, with characters such as Alec, Natalia, and Boris all making appearances. The game is based on the 1995 film of the same name starring Pierce Brosnan and Sean Bean, and sees Bond attempting to stop terrorists from seizing the titular superweapon, which emits an Electro-Magnetic Pulse (EMP) strike that nullifies all electronic equipment. While PC games like Quake and DOOM had set the standard, home consoles didn’t really have much success in this respect until James Bond arrived on the scene. Ah, history lesson time! GoldenEye 007 was released in 1997 for the N64, and at the time was considered one of the greatest first-person shooters of its time.
