Xbox Racks Up 37 Million Views With A Single Post About GTA 6

The power of a GTA tease.Just in case you were in any doubt, GTA 6 is going to become easily the biggest video game of all time when it releases on November 19th of this year (assuming it doesn't get delayed any further).Take Xbox's latest post about it as evidence. At the end of last week, Xbox took to Twitter/X and simply stated the release date along with the words "Wishlist Now". Nothing special, and yet it's racked up 37.3 million views so far.Read the full article on purexbox.com

Preview: Five Things I'm Loving About 007 First Light On Xbox Series X So Far

After around three hours of playtime.Welcome to James Bond week on Xbox! 007 First Light is officially arriving today in early access (and tomorrow for everyone else), and I've been fortunate enough to play it on Xbox Series X over the past couple of days.There hasn't been time to put a full review together — our Xbox code landed just before the bank holiday weekend here in the UK, and I've only put around three hours into the Xbox version so far. We'll still have a full review roundup here on Pure Xbox very soon though, so this feature is just meant to provide some initial first impressions.Read the full article on purexbox.com

Talking Point: Do You Think We'll See PS6 & Project Helix In Action This Summer?

It's showcase season, where the new consoles at?!The end of May is nigh, which means summer showcase season is right around the corner. This time of year always brings loads of amazing new game reveals, but 2026 feels a little different, with next-gen consoles on the horizon. So, do you think we'll actually see either PS6 or Project Helix — or some of the games that'll be running on them — this summer?Honestly, we're not sure right now. If next-gen launches next year in earnest (and that's still a big if right now), it feels like we should start knowing a bit more about the hardware powering the next console cycle very soon. However, with global uncertainty still being a factor in what seems like everything right now, it feels as though these tech companies may opt to stay a little quieter until closer to launch this time around.Read the full article on purexbox.com

Forza Horizon 6 Seemingly Sold Almost 5 Million Copies Before Its Opening Weekend

New Steam player record also set.Even before its main Xbox Game Pass release, it feels like we spoke a lot about Forza Horizon 6's success - notably some impressive early access numbers, high review scores and lots of people hopping on the Steam version at once. In addition to all of this though, some early data from the folks over at Alinea Analytics shows incredibly encouraging sales figures for the new Xbox racer - and that's before this opening weekend that's just gone.According to the analytics firm, Forza Horizon 6 sold 4.9 million copies across Xbox and Steam by Friday, May 22nd. That includes the game's four-day early access period and roughly three days of the main standard edition release - and we don't know about you folks, but almost five million sales before the game's full opening weekend looks incredibly impressive to us (a large chunk of those sales will have been at the $120 early access price too).Read the full article on purexbox.com
