Talking Point: Which Xbox Console Do You Think Has Aged The Best?

The original Xbox gave birth to the idea of Xbox Live, but you can't access it any longer unless you use the third-party Insignia service.

Guide: Xbox Game Pass Essential: Full List Of Games (April 2026 Update)

Five Xbox Games Are Being Delisted In April & May 2026

All disappearing from the Xbox Store.A couple of days ago, we highlighted three Xbox games that are shutting down their servers in April 2026, but when it comes to games that are being delisted, there are actually a few differences that you might want to be aware of.The two Fortnite games that we mentioned in that article are getting delisted by default when they go offline on April 16th, so no surprises there. However, we've now also got a 2018 action-adventure game called Beast Quest that's disappearing on April 9th, which to be honest received some pretty awful reviews back in the day. Still, if it gets a deep discount before the 9th, it might be worth picking up for your Xbox collection (for what it's worth, it has a 2.9/5 rating based on 77 reviews on the US Xbox Store).Read the full article on purexbox.com
