We've been trying to tip-toe around the news here at Pure Xbox today given the sheer number of April Fools' jokes doing the rounds, but there have been some great gags dropping all day. Many of them relate to some of our favourite Xbox games, too, so we've rounded up some of the best below.
DiRT Rollers: The Official Marble Racing Video Game
Codemasters released a hefty blog featuring some great-looking screenshots of a marble racing game earlier today. If we're honest, we're pretty sad this one isn't real.
For Honor: Mini Edition
You might remember Raving Rabbids being added to For Honor last year, and this time around, the game has changed things up by making all user-controlled players mini.
Overwatch: Googly Eyes
Listen, there isn't a better update you can apply to a game than just adding googly eyes to everything. Well done, Overwatch. We salute you.
PUBG: Fantasy Battle Royale
For the next week (until April 7th), PUBG players can compete in an optional mode featuring four fantasy classes. As the official website perfectly states, "things are about to get… well, weird."
World of Tanks - Turret Town
Ever wanted to play as a turret in World of Tanks? Of course you have! That's exactly what you can do in Turret Town - a new 4v4 Multi-Base Assault mode for April Fools' Day.
What's the best April Fools' Day joke you've seen today? Let us know in the comments.

Wow, these were the best? That's pretty weak.
I'll take DiRT Rollers: The Official Marble Racing Video Game.
Not Xbox related but the best gaming April Fool's joke I saw yesterday was a video review by youtuber SegaLordX for Resident Evil 2 on Sega Saturn. Since RE does have a small history on Sega platforms I wouldn't surprised if he did get a few people with the title of the video.
I saw quite a good one about a DOOM Eternal arcade machine on Arcade Heroes.
@BionicDodo I've just seen that one, very cool!
@Heavyarms55 It's one of those situations where if a dev goes too far, everyone starts complaining they've wasted resources on a silly joke. The PUBG blog actually goes into detail assuring fans they haven't done this for Fantasy Battle Royale.
@FraserG I mean, I totally get that. But they could easily be more creative with similar effort. They could try something that isn't so glaringly obvious an April Fool's joke. But all of these are instantly obvious.
