"Weâve seen games rapidly decompiled and rebuilt".Over the past few months (and particularly the past few weeks), it's become harder and harder to avoid hearing about "recomp" games from the history of Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo and other major game companies.In a nutshell, this is a technique where games are recompiled to run on hardware they were never intended for, and the rapid advancement of AI is the primary reason behind many of these new recomps.Read the full article on purexbox.com
The Walking Trade is out today on XBOX Series X|S. Itâs a store management game set in a zombie apocalypse: you stock the shelves, set your prices, and serve the survivors who come through the door, then pick up a weapon when zombies raid the place.

I'm buying on Xbox what I'd usually pick up on Steam and other consoles.Since Xbox announced that physical disc-based games could be converted into digital licenses playable on both console and PC, I've been all-in on physical purchases.I've always been an advocate for physical ownership, long before disc to digital, but the ability to buy a physical copy of a game and essentially turn it into a PC license - I'm even more so. Xbox's disc to digital programme has got to be one of this console gen

It'll need to beat 11 other amazing titles though.It's almost time for awards season, folks! Before we get there, the final nominations for Ultimate Game of the Year have been announced for the Golden Joystick Awards 2026, and Xbox is officially up for the Game of the Year trophy.Xbox's inclusion is due to the release of Forza Horizon 6 back in May, although there's no place for the likes of Halo: Campaign Evolved and Gears of War: E-Day - the latter was technically eligible, but still didn't ma

"We have extended the consultation period".Last week, we brought you the news that Microsoft was running out of time to save Arkane Lyon (otherwise known as Arkane Studios) from being closed down entirely, and it was suggested at the time that November 13th was a potential deadline for when the consultation process would come to an end.However, Microsoft has now announced in a statement to PC Gamer that the consultation process has been extended by a month, taking it into December at the very le
Could this be the beginning of OG cheevos?Back in July, we reported on Xbox's intent to bring achievements to 'select' original Xbox games sometime this year. Well, it appears an early glimpse of this has been spotted online.Multiple posts from X/Twitter users are claiming that original Xbox titles such as Psychonauts, Destroy All Humans, Star Wars Republic Commando, and various others are showing up on their Achievements page on console.Read the full article on purexbox.com

The details were first shared by The Verge in a report late last week.Chiang worked in various notable roles during her time at Microsoft, such as Director of Xbox Live, Chief of Staff at Microsoft Studios, and a whole bunch of roles on the Minecraft team including Studio Head.Read the full art
Overshadowed by October's biggest releases.October has been a pretty spectacular month for videogame bangers. It started with the likes of Ace Combat 8, Star Wars: Galactic Racer, Silver Pines, and my personal GOTY, Gears of War: E-Day launching within the space of nine days. And thatâs before we get to Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen, Castlevania: Belmont's Curse, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4. You get the idea.It's certainly a great time to be a gamer. The biggest problem is finding enough hour

Here's what's on the way before the end of the month.It's almost the end of October! Before we get there though, we've got no less than six Xbox Game Pass titles still to come over the next few days, including multiple "day one" titles and an absolute banger in Final Fantasy 7 Remake!You don't need us to talk about how great FF7 Remake is, but everything else might be a bit more unknown to you. Terrible Lizards, for example, is a very intriguing "horror parkour" game that has more than a few Fiv

Are you a fan? And if not, what's stopping you?So, I think it's fair to say Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 has had a pretty faffy launch. First came Campaign Early Access, followed four days later by DMZ Early Access, and then another three days later by its full release. Two too many launch days if you ask me, but still, I can't help but feel a hefty amount of FOMO sitting here 'CODless', as it's apparently one of the best Call of Duty games in quite some time.And since the game is finally enjo
Whenever I sit down to play Xbox, I now reach for the Ultimate 3E controller.8BitDo is one of those brands that has built a name for itself by shipping solid and reliable third-party peripherals for PC and console. In fact, I'm typing this review on its clickity-clackity SNES-themed Retro Keyboard, so itâs fair to say I'm already a fan.But when it comes to dethroning my go-to controller, the Xbox Elite Core 2, third-party alternatives never really stood a chance. That prospect seemed even less l

Starting anything new?It's the penultimate weekend before things get royally spooky. Makes me wonder if any of you are planning on playing something scary...It's been a relatively quiet week for new releases if we consider what a crazy month October has been, but big names like We Were Here Tomorrow and Final Fantasy Resonance launched just a few days ago. Then there's all the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 hoo-ha, but if none of those are to your liking, perhaps you'll find a bargain in our Sho

A consumer-friendly move, or a silly one?When going through the data from Circana yesterday for September 2026 sales in the US (specifically for the story about Xbox and Nintendo console sales suffering YoY decreases), I happened to notice the list of "projected" best-selling video games of 2026 up to that point, and there are two games from Microsoft / Xbox in that lineup.The first of these is Forza Horizon 6, which supposedly was the seventh best-selling game of the year up to the end of Septe
