CrossfireX, the online shooter game from SmileGate and Microsoft, is shutting down after 1 year of service. The game was first released in 2022 and quickly became one of the most popular online shooters. The game was developed by SmileGate, a South Korean game developer, and was published by Microsoft.

The game had a large player base and was immensely popular in Asia, where it had up to 8 million concurrent players. It also had a successful esports scene, with tournaments being held around the world. However, in recent years the game has seen its popularity decline, and it has been unable to keep up with more modern shooters such as Call of Duty and Overwatch.

Microsoft and SmileGate have decided to shut down the game due to the declining player base and the fact that it is no longer competitive in the online shooter market. They released a statement saying that they are “saddened by the closure” but that they believe it is the best decision for the future of the game.

The game will be shut down on May 18th, 2023, giving players time to get their remaining unlocks and items before the game is officially shut down. Microsoft and SmileGate have also said that they are working on a new title that will be revealed at a later date.
