About XboxHome
Everything Xbox — since the original console launched in 2002
XboxHome is an independent UK Xbox site — online since 2002, when the original Xbox first hit UK shelves. We track what’s coming out, what’s worth playing and what matters on Xbox — UK release dates, a page for every game that counts, a cheat archive spanning four console generations, and concise briefings you can read in a couple of minutes.
What we do
Most gaming sites are a firehose. XboxHome is the opposite: we answer the three questions a British player actually has — when is it out here, how is it selling, and is it any good? Every game we cover gets a permanent page with its UK date, platforms, price, PEGI rating, box art, screenshots and trailer, plus a plainly-written explanation of what the game is and whether it has an online mode. Those pages are researched and checked against official sources, not copied from a store listing.
Each week we publish the UK All-formats chart with artwork and a note on what moved, and a Friday Briefing that pulls the week together: what launched, what's next, what the chart says and what it means. Editorials carry a byline and an argument. For breaking headlines we point you to our network partners and label them clearly rather than rewriting their work.
We've been writing about Xbox since 2002 — through the original Xbox, 360, One and now Series X|S — and rebuilt the site from the ground up in 2026 around this focus. We're not owned by a publisher or a platform, and we say so when something is sponsored.
