The Definitive Version of Goldeneye 007 can be found as part of the digital release of Rare Replay for XBOX One and XBOX Series consoles. Although this version is emulated it offers updates to the original Nintendo 64 such as improved framerate, hi-res graphics, and modern controls. While it does not have online multiplayer like the Switch release from the same year, it does feature local split-screen multiplayer, which is how you're supposed to play anyway.
