While you obviously come to Nintendo Life to get the latest news, reviews and features from the world of Nintendo, it's equally obvious that many of us will own more than one games console. To that end, the network this very site is part of has grown over time; many of you will be aware of our Sony site, Push Square, but what you might not know is that some years back, we also had an Xbox-focused site called Pure Xbox.
Pure Xbox was closed a few years ago so we could focus on making Nintendo Life and Push Square the best they could possibly be, but with both of those sites in pretty good places right now and the tantalising promise of Xbox Series X looming on the horizon, we thought now would be the perfect time to resurrect it.
The site will have been live again for a week this Friday, and while it's not quite at the same production capacity as our other two sites, it has nonetheless been cranking out some fine content over the past few days, including:
- NEWS: Microsoft Reveals How Xbox Series X Is Going To Beat PS5
- GUIDE: Best Xbox One Games
- GUIDE: Which Xbox One Console Should You Buy? Xbox One S, X And All-Digital Options Detailed
- REVIEW: Ori And The Will Of The Wisps - The Best Platformer On Xbox One
- REVIEW: Sea Of Thieves - In Truly Ship-Shape Condition Two Years After Launch
- REVIEW: Red Dead Redemption 2 - The Death Of The Wild West Comes To Life In Rockstar's Masterpiece
- REVIEW: Forza Horizon 4 - The Best Racing Experience On Xbox One
We've hired a very talented and highly-experienced editor in the form of Fraser Gilbert, but you'll no doubt spot some familiar names popping up over on Pure Xbox, too. So, if you happen to own an Xbox One console or are excited about what Series X has to offer, hopefully you'll be willing to add Pure Xbox to your bookmarks folder. Enjoy!

There are... other consoles? Why does no-one mention this sort of thing?
Great news though - I hope the group of sites goes from strength to strength.
YES THANK YOU CREATED AN ACCOUNT JUST TO SAY THANK YOU
Why not Pure Windows 10?
@nessisonett
SPOILERS MUCH?!
Why don't you just go all out when you're at it?
Kevin Spacey was Keyser Söze all along!
Jolly good. I've missed Pure Xbox.
Yay! looking forward to this, never got into push square.
heads over to post a bit
What's an Xbox?
Heh.. more like X-SUX LOLOLOL!!!

Great news, that website was always high-quality and now with Game Pass and Xbox Series X is the best time to come back. Let's hang around there too!
Happy for this. It was a great site, a small community, but a lovely one at that.
Bookmarked! I appreciate both PushSquare and this site so while my time with Xbone is limited at best, I'd prefer to read the news from you guys.
Good to have them back then. Especially since we've started moving into an age of multi-platform crossplay games and console...(brand ala Xbox/Win10 things) exclusivity, better that everyone is engaged as a whole rather than at each other's necks over brand allegiance.
Wow there is a world next to nintendo!? So aliens Doo exist.
The alien motherships name is revealed! π∆¶¥ Translation: Xbox series X.
No just kidding, tnx for the tip. As for xbox i wait for the games and the price.
Imo, they have the best controller.
Nice I will be sure to check some Xbox news there.
I'm with @Anvold, why is there no strictly PC gaming related site from you guys?
@Hagemaru That really is just people in general though. People will always just be people no matter where you go.
OMG I've been waiting for so long for this !!!
I personnaly own the three consoles, and I was so desperate to fin a website for Xbox news and articles with the quality of Push Square and Nintendolife.
Creating a account right now !
@Bobobiwan You can use your Nintendolife account
Glad to see it back!
With all that new Series X info yesterday, bringing back Pure Xbox a few days ago was very good timing. It's also nice Sony is revealing the PS5 tomorrow so Push Square will be more active. A shame Nintendo won't join in the fun as well with a Direct revealing more about what's coming to Switch after this week.
@Grumblevolcano they just had their Nindies Direct. I think we'll get a "proper" Direct mid April.
I will never need to go there.
I've owned mostly (and almost all of them) Nintendo consoles through my life. I wouldn't consider myself a Nintendo Fanboy, or, in the very least, not the toxic variety.
Diversity is always good, I say!
Welcome back Pure Xbox, for many years to come 🎉🎉🎉
“But what you might not know is that some years back, we also had an Xbox-focused site called Pure Xbox.“
Have pushsquare and nintendolife gained so many new readers that people didn’t know about this?
Well it’s good they’re back, I didn’t often visit pureXbox. Mostly during E3 period.
Wait wait wait.
You mean to tell me there are other consoles that also play games other than Nintendoh’s
Sweet time to go pull out my green pom poms
Didn't you guys used to have a site dedicated to Kinect back then? If so, you should reboot that as well.
Finally!!! Thanks!!!
Good, this closed down right around when I bought my first Xbox. Pleased to see it back.
same login works~!! Awesome. I am thinking aobut next gen xbox so it is cool to have a sister site
Awesome. I’ve enjoyed seeing articles over there the past few days, been far too long since I had a good quality Xbox site in my life. Great job, guys!
Congrats on bringing it back!
I don't currently follow the Xbox series of consoles - not since the 360 days - but that may change in the future depending on any exclusives. More quality writing is always a good thing, and I'm sure that many are happy to see the return of Pure Xbox.
Here's to the future!
I've been checking the site since 2016 in hopes it would return. Hopefully more traffic and some good articles and pieces will make the site flourish. Good to see the team in green getting some love
There are already more comments in this comment section than actual Xbox's sold in Japan in a given month. 😉
In all seriousness, yay for Xbox!!!
Don't care, Don't want to know, Pass me the Kleenex so I can read Goop.
@ShadowSmile with what? SEGA barely make games anymore
Okay but when do we get the Gizmondojo?
@nessisonett I was going to Like your comment but noticed you were at 7, and didn't want to ruin it.
Oh wow nice, Xbox has really become my preferred platform these days when it comes to home consoles, the PS4 has never really done it for me. I would actually be interested in checking it out, this site seems to be well managed, well run, and good about listening and being considerate to users so I would be happy to support their Xbox site.
Thanks for the heads up!
YES! I've missed it
A lot of x's ?
Why was it shut down years ago anyway ?
Good for you guys! I'll go check it out later.
I played Halo once. It was ok.
I’m glad the site is back. I used to visit it often.
Oh excellent. On my way....
Will any Nintendo news be posted there? If not, I'll stay here.
Was hoping for a vintage console site. I know y’all still got one foot in the 90’s
Awesome! I love my Xbox more than I thought I would. I’ll check up on it. BTW it looks like we share account sign in between these sister sites.
I remember buying an XBox One a few years ago and being so annoyed. It was one of the sites that helped convince me to buy one. Only to have to shut down! It was as the only good site I could find dedicated only to the XB1. Look forward to seeing how it, and the next Xbox generation moves forward in the future.
The link to PushSquare is actually incorrect, linking it to a Nintendo Life 404 page. I hadn't heard about either, but now I know where to head to. Thanks!
That's more than welcome!
I really could use a good site to follow Xbox news. Nowadays although I have an xbox and use it considerably, I don't follow any sites just because I don't like any of the ones I know. If Pure Xbox is something like Nintendo Life, I'm in
Great!! It's a good news!
Thanks!!
@Dezzy It's what I used to play Mass Effect on until I upgraded to PC.
Noice. Congratulations to Pure Xbox for the Resurrection.
Just FYI, the Push Square link is apparently broken.
It's funny how perusing through Pure Xbox makes me realize how few games on the platform are my personal cup of tea.
@Averagewriter
Painting with an even broader brush, it might also be the distinct lack of Japanese sensibilities whatsoever. Growing up with Nintendo from a very young age has instilled a strong aesthetic preference.
@Ulysses your comment (#65) and avatar couldn't fit any better! 😄
About time there’s a good deficated Xbox site!
Long time reader, first time account. Excited for the new site.
Thanks to everyone who mentioned the broken link to Push Square - that's fixed now 🙂
This is great news. I was searching for a Nintendolife equivalent having just purchased an Xbox One X last month and this comes along.... Thank You!!
The gang's all here
