Xbox 360: The Official Xbox Magazine Gets a New Name with New Website On the Way

Xbox 360: The Official Xbox Magazine has now been officially renamed Xbox: The Official Magazine. The highly popular publication will receive a makeover for the impending release of the Xbox One to accommodate news coverage for both the Xbox One and Xbox 360 consoles. In addition to the changed magazine name, the company has also announced an update for the publication's official website scheduled to arrive before the release of Xbox One. Fans of the magazine can pick up the newest copy featuring new Call of Duty: Ghosts content and a free 20-page Xbox One launch guide. Read on for more details.

Jon Hicks, Editor of Xbox: The Official Magazine, says: "The games industry has changed radically since OXM launched, with the rise of both mega-franchises like Call of Duty and Assassin's Creed and indie hits like Minecraft and Spelunky. The new-look OXM is designed to let our award-winning writing team cover both, from exclusive reveals of the next big thing to the events and communities players have built around existing games. Increasingly the most fascinating stories in gaming come from what gamers create themselves, from architectural wonders in Minecraft to masochistic challenges in Dark Souls, and the new OXM is designed to bring those to our huge print and online audience. With Xbox One's incredible line-up of launch exclusives just round the corner, and years of life left in the Xbox 360, Xbox gamers have never had it so good - and OXM's going to deliver the best coverage of everything that matters."

Lee Nutter, Head of Games, says: “With the launch of the Xbox One, we are entering what is set to be one of the most exciting times in the UK games market. It is vitally important that we are geared up to cater for users of both the next-generation and current console, and this redesign, coupled with the exciting work we are doing the website and video content, will enable us to reach more Xbox fans than ever before.”
