Pragmata: All the ways the Shelter expands gameplay and story

Rumour: Fable Has Apparently Been Delayed Internally, But May Still Launch In 2026

"They are worried about the launch of GTA6".GTA 6 could be a bit of a trouble-maker when it comes to other 2026 game launches, couldn't it? The Rockstar epic is sure to swallow up everyone's time and attention when it finally launches this year (supposedly), and the latest rumour doing the rounds suggests that Xbox's Fable may end up getting delayed to avoid it.According to industry reporter Jeff Grubb, "Fable has been pushed internally", although Grubb does go on to say that "they're still trying to get it out this year" in terms of Microsoft's current plan for the RPG reboot. It all seems to hinge on GTA 6, going off this rumour.Read the full article on purexbox.com

Xbox Reporter Suggests Microsoft Is Being More Lenient With Its Gaming Profit Goals

"This has given Xbox extra breathing room...".Back in October, we heard that Microsoft had been pushing its Xbox teams to aim for increased profit margins in recent years - and although the Xbox owner responded by saying that the quoted 30% margin was incorrect, it was still believed that increased pressures had been put on Microsoft's studios as of late. Well, apparently that's now been relaxed a little bit following recent leadership changes at Xbox HQ.Xbox reporter Jez Corden has taken to social media to promote a recent 'XB2 News' post, which gathers up some big Xbox news from April 2026. Although the post is paywalled for now, Corden does tease some of its contents, including information that "Xbox has reduced margin pressure from the top down" recently.Read the full article on purexbox.com

Feature: ROG Xbox Ally X: 6-Month Review - A Handheld I've Been Using In Unexpected

Has it really been that long already?!Six months ago, when I first got my hands on the ROG Xbox Ally X courtesy of ASUS, I assumed it was going to become like an Xbox Series X in my hands — a system I would use basically in the same kind of way as my main Xbox console, while also perhaps taking advantage of the likes of Steam and other PC storefronts from time to time.Now, as I sit here in April 2026, the way I've been using the Xbox Ally has definitely surprised me in more ways than one. Has it replaced my Xbox Series X? Definitely not. Do I use it the same way as my Xbox Series X? Definitely not! But in many respects, it's become the most important gaming system that I own, and often for unexpected reasons that I hadn't anticipated back in October of last year.Read the full article on purexbox.com

Feature: Forza Horizon 4 Is Still Packed With Players On Xbox, And It's Easing The W

One final lap of open-world Britain?Recently, I spent a good amount of hours playing Forza Horizon 6 for a preview some of you may have seen on Pure Xbox, and I had a fantastic time with Xbox's upcoming 2026 racer. In fact, I'd started getting withdrawal symptoms after the preview concluded - so much so that a re-install of my favourite FH game was on the cards while I wait; Forza Horizon 4. While heading back to open-world Britain was a tough transition at first, what greeted me was a game that's still thriving, and one that'll always have a special place in my heart.The instant I dipped back into Horizon 4 this past week, I was quickly greeted with a 'Forzathon Live' event - so naturally, I headed straight for that to take part. When I arrived, there were loads of players preparing to kick things off, and honestly, it felt like I was back playing around the launch of the game! We quickly blasted through the event and snagged our points, and I can definitely say that despite its recent delisting, plenty of folks still play Forza Horizon 4 on Xbox and PC.Read the full article on purexbox.com
