XIII is a first-person shooter video game developed by Maltese studio PlayMagic and published by Microids for PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One in November 2020. Versions for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S were released in September 2022. It is a remake of the 2003 video game of the same name.

The game received negative reviews from critics and players. It was criticized for its changes to the art style, game design differences from the original, and the game's numerous technical and audio issues. Microids issued an apology for the game's technical issues on launch and in September 2022, a major new update for the game, this time under the development of Tower Five that aimed to improve the remake's quality, was released.[1]
