Crossfire X, the Xbox One version of the massively popular PC FPS game Crossfire, has a closed beta right now, with an open beta running this weekend. The open beta begins Thursday, 25June and runs through Sunday, 28June.
Crossfire X was announced at Microsoft’s Xbox E3 2019 press conference, advertised as launching first on Xbox in 2020. Crossfire is massively popular around the world, with more than 650 million players on PC. On PC, Crossfire has amassed a registered player base of over 650 million people, with 8 million concurrent players. Developed by Smilegate Entertainment in Seoul, South Korea, it features a single player campaign that was developed in partnership with Remedy Entertainment (Alan Wake, Control, Quantum Break), but also features battle royale and competitive multiplayer modes. Microsoft is banking on that popularity to get more people playing on Xbox.
CrossfireX delivers an intense first-person shooter experience where players are immersed in a sprawling global conflict between the world’s two most formidable private military factions. Complete objective-based missions across a variety of classic and innovative modes featuring tightly crafted gameplay and cinematic visuals.
The details of what modes players can expect to be playing and on what maps includes:
- Map – Black Widow. Modes: Team Match/ Search & Destroy. 8v8
- Map – Laboratory. Mode – Spectre. 8v8
- Map – GR Tower. Mode – Point Capture. 8v8
So that is three maps and four different modes. The progress made in the CrossfireX beta will not carry over to the full release aside from a beta exclusive axe. The decision has been made to not carry anything else over to maintain a balanced playerbase when things first start at the full launch of CrossfireX
