The landscape of FPS games has evolved over time, and The Spy Who Shot Me transports players back to the genre's golden era of the 1990s. Originally available on Steam for PC in 2019, this retro FPS game by developer Retro Army Limited has now made its way to the Xbox and Switch platforms with the backing of a publisher.

The Spy Who Shot Me is a comedic retro FPS title heavily influenced by the video game shooters of the 90s, particularly the iconic GoldenEye from 1997. The game's graphics pay homage to the visual style of 1990s games, adding a nostalgic touch to the gaming experience, a trend seen in several recent retro FPS titles.

Nintendo Switch and Xbox players can now delve into the world of The Spy Who Shot Me, available for digital purchase at $7.99. Players step into the role of Agent7, tasked with thwarting the criminal S.C.U.M. organization. The game's official trailer focuses on action-packed first-person shooting sequences set to classic gaming shooter-style music. The trailer concludes with the game's key art featuring Agent7 and a woman in front of a burning boat.

Retro Army Limited, known for its quirky and comedic games blending classic gameplay elements with humor, has previously released titles such as Verdict Guilty, Death's Hangover, and Super Trench Attack.

The title The Spy Who Shot Me is a playful nod to the 1977 James Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me, with the game drawing inspiration from the Bond universe. Notably, the company PixelHeart secured the publishing rights to expand the reach of the GoldenEye-inspired game to other platforms following Retro Army Limited's inactivity.

The Spy Who Shot Me is currently available for download on Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One, with a PlayStation version slated for release in January 2024.
