CrossFire is an online tactical first-person shooter for Microsoft Windows by South Korean developer SmileGate. Neowiz is the Korean publisher of CrossFire, and deals with SmileGate directly. All other publishers must go through Neowiz to get to the developers. The game was released in China by Tencent, with Tencent as the exclusive agent service company. Tencent operates the game through the internet, with service areas covered and the networks supported by China Telecom and China Netcom. The tests for its software bugs were started publicly on April 2008.

According to The Korea Herald, the game was the world's top grossing online game of 2014 at 1.5 trillion won ($1.3 billion). Neal H. Moritz‘s Original Film and Korean game developer Smilegate are teaming up to develop a film based on the popular online game “Crossfire”. A film adaptation of CrossFire was announced in October 2015.

It is currently the most played FPS video game in the world, as well as the 2nd highest grossing online game behind League of Legends.

CrossFire is a free-to-play first-person shooter that features two mercenary corporations named the "Black List" and "Global Risk," fighting each other in an epic global conflict. Players assume the role of either a Black List or Global Risk mercenary, joining an online team that must work together to complete objective-based scenarios. With the exception of the Zombie mode and Wave mode, each mode can support a maximum of 16 players, each divided into an 8-man team.

Players will progress and be promoted through various Military Ranks, beginning at trainee, with the highest being Marshall. Players also have the ability to customize their character's equipment and appearance through in-game items.

CrossFire has a free currency which is called Game Points (GP), which are earned through playing and completing matches, buying premium items that grant bonus GP, or fulfilling certain missions. Premium and special items like modified weapons can only be bought using monetary currencies. The content tends to vary from version to version.
