CrossfireX has finally arrived and the phenomenon in the Far East is looking to have a similar effect across the rest of the globe.

The question on whether the first-person shooter is free-to-play or not is one that gamers have been asking, with Remedy and Smilegate looking to compete directly with the likes of Call of Duty and Battlefield 2042.

The gaming industry, as a whole, is beginning to move in a completely new direction, thanks to the models adopted by the developers of Fortnite and Apex Legends - who opted to go with a free game with microtransactions.

While this method is proving to be hugely controversial, some are asking whether CrossfireX have followed in their footsteps.

Having only been released in February 2022, Remedy and Smilegate's creation is still relatively new and players are getting to grips with the first Crossfire addition to the series since 2007 and is an Xbox exclusive, at the time of writing.

This first-person shooter (FPS) will please fans that take the opportunity to play this game, as it is indeed free-to-play and designed to accommodate competitive gaming, as we've seen over the years in Counter-Strike.

This game is filled with Classic and Modern game modes which players can relate to, along with some eye-catching cinematics. There is a lot of game here considering it is free of charge.

Sure, it is expected to have in-game purchases such as skins, weapons, outfits and other cosmetics.

Along with this, there is a single-player campaign that immerses you into an epic story, essentially bringing CrossfireX to life.

We are likely to see paid DLCs that will arrive in the future, with Smilegate solely taking responsibility for the multiplayer side of CrossfireX.

That being said, while the game is free-to-play, plenty will get enjoyment out of CrossfireX without having to put their hand in their pocket and buy items in-game.
