Merry Christmas And Happy Holidays From All Of Us At Pure Xbox!

It's the most wonderful time of the year, or so they say! If you're celebrating Christmas, we hope you have a fantastic time - and we'd also like to welcome new PX members who have just received their first Xbox console as a present! This is also the time of the year where we slow down a bit, so you won't see as much content on Pure Xbox before 2025 rolls around, but we still have some cool stuff on the way - including the big Pure Xbox Game of the Year roundup! We'd also like to say "thank you" to everyone who browses Pure Xbox (and/or visits our YouTube channel) for your amazing support over the past 12 months. Simply put, we wouldn't be able to exist without our incredible community. Be sure to let us know if you've received any Xbox gifts down in the comments below... From all of us at Pure Xbox, we hope you have a fantastic Christmas and holiday period.
