Feature: I'm Playing Fable 1 For The First Time, And Here Are Five Things That Have Surprised Me

Better late than never, eh?Like many other members of the Pure Xbox community, I was blown away by the Fable reboot reveal at Xbox Developer Direct a few weeks ago. I know some of us immediately started thinking about revisiting the classics — Fable 1, Fable 2, and whatever else you consider to be a "classic" — but for me personally, it was less about "revisiting" and more about going on a journey of discovery.Fable 2 and Fable Fortune are the only games in the series I've ever put real time int

Indie Publisher Spends $0 Marketing Their New Game, Sells Most Copies On Xbox

"It happened passively, purely through store visibility.".We all know it can be hard for indie games to get discovered amidst a sea of new releases across various storefronts, and one publisher recently put this to the test — what if they spent "exactly $0" on marketing their new game?The game is called Skinwalker (3D), and it's been on PS5 since December 5th, Xbox since December 26th, and Nintendo Switch since January 22nd. No marketing funds have been put into it whatsoever by the publisher, a

Talking Point: Are You Looking Forward To High On Life 2 Hitting Xbox Game Pass Next Week?

Excited for the High on Life sequel?High On Life was a divisive old game, wasn't it? Honestly, it all came down to how you took the game's particular brand of humour; some of us at the PX offices enjoyed it, whilst our reviewer PJ ended up on the opposite side of the spectrum, it's safe to say. Despite polarising opinions on it, Squanch Games greenlit a sequel - one that's coming to Xbox Game Pass next week. So, are you looking forward to it now that it's right around the corner?High on Life 2 g

Here's What Might Leave Xbox Game Pass In March 2026

Our best guesses for what might leave.What's leaving Xbox Game Pass in March 2026? Well, Microsoft hasn't confirmed anything just yet, but based on some games that were added to the service this time last year, we can at least make a few predictions ahead of time.We know that a lot of Xbox users want more advance notice of games leaving Xbox Game Pass, but Microsoft usually gives us around two weeks right now - and don't forget, publishers sometimes secure late deals with Microsoft to keep their

Xbox Sparks Confusion With $5 Gift Cards For 'Participating In The Black Ops 7 Campaign'

It's seemingly related to the Vault Edition Upgrade.Every now and again, Microsoft likes to give away free Gift Cards to various Xbox users — usually as a result of a major sale on the Xbox Store — but this is one of the most confusing examples yet.Earlier this week, a bunch of Call of Duty fans began sharing that they'd received a free $5 Xbox Gift Card via their Xbox messages for "participating in the Black Ops 7 campaign".

If You Like EarthBound, This New Xbox Game Is Getting Heavy Comparisons To It

"The best EarthBound-like you've never heard of".We'll be honest — Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass was not a game that was on our radar prior to this week. We overlooked it for our February 2026 Xbox indie roundup, but it could end up becoming one of the most beloved indie releases of the month (at least for EarthBound fans!).The game is described as blending "classic 16-bit RPG design with surreal dream logic and psychologically charged environments", taking place inside the dream of an eight-year
