Poll MLB The Show 25 Isn't On Xbox Game Pass, So Will You Be Buying It?
It's never skipped XGP before
I nearly leaped off my chair when it was announced back in 2021 that not only would MLB The Show 21 be coming to Xbox for the first time, but it would be part of Xbox Game Pass as well. That's the remained the case with MLB The Show 22, 23 and 24... but for the first time, MLB The Sh

Poll What Do You Think Of Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader On Xbox Game Pass?
Impressed or disappointed so far?
The big Xbox Game Pass release of this week has undoubtedly been Avowed, which means something like Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader has sadly gone under the radar a bit - but that certainly doesn't mean it's not worth playing!

A few? A dozen? How about over 50?!

Poll What Do You Think Of Stalker 2 On Xbox Game Pass So Far?
It's a divisive title
Well, our Stalker 2 review is now out in the wild, and as you may have seen, we've struggled with quite a few aspects of GSC Game World's new shooter.

Poll How Often Do You Take Advantage Of Crossplay On Xbox?

Poll How Much Would You Pay For An Xbox Series X Pro?
Or are you perfectly happy without one?
Alright, so the big talking point coming out of today's PS5 Pro reveal from Sony is actually how overly expensive the console is, especially considering it doesn't come bundled with a disc drive (although it does have 2TB of storage). Here at Pure Xbox, we argued today that the high price justifies...
