Having been Xbox gamers from 2002 when the original big black box hit the UK, taking in all the 360 years, that of Xbox One and now being fully integrated into Xbox Series X|S, PC and Game Pass, we could never find a place that would only cover the interesting, exciting stuff from the world of Xbox.

Hence, TheXboxHub was born.

Covering only the best in the latest news and reviews for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, Play Anywhere and Game Pass, we aim to be a one stop hub for all your Xbox needs, without all the useless guff that you really don’t want to know about.

We aren’t just sharing opinions; we are part of the global gaming conversation. Our reviews are recognised by the world's leading aggregate sites, ensuring our scores have a real impact:

OpenCritic: Since 2016, TheXboxHub has been a trusted contributor to OpenCritic, providing transparent and honest appraisals of the latest releases.

Metacritic: In January 2017, we were added to the approved critic list at Metacritic, further cementing our status as a reliable voice for Xbox players. Since that time, we have had more than 6000 of our reviews posted on Metacritic.

Official Recognition: From January 2015 until its closure in 2018, we were also a proud member of the Official Xbox Community Network (XCN).

We know that while many read every word of our analysis, others want to get straight to the point. We use a 5-star rating system (including half-stars) to give you a clear picture of a game's quality.

No game is perfect, nor will it ever be, but a 5-star rating from TXH means you’re looking at something truly special. Conversely, a 1-star rating (or less) is a firm warning to keep your wallet closed.

Gaming is better together. We started as a small project by long-time gamer Neil in late 2013, and we’ve grown into a thriving community.

Meet the passionate gamers behind our content on our team page

Of course, we are gamers at heart and always looking for new friends or opponents on Xbox Live. You can find our individual Gamertags at the end of our articles - feel free to add us!

Join the conversation on Twitter (X), Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. Our Discord Group is the best place to get involved in discussions too.

Our opinions remain 100% our own. We believe that a review is only as good as the time invested in it. That is why we only review a title once plenty of game time has been ploughed into it. Whether it is an epic 60-hour RPG or a compact indie experience, we ensure our sessions are long enough to provide a fair, balanced, and comprehensive critique. We don't rush for the sake of a "day zero" headline; we play until we’re sure.

However, running a site costs money, and we use adverts and affiliate links (such as Amazon and CDKeys) to keep the lights on. You may occasionally see sponsored editorials, which will always be clearly labelled with either TXH, Sponsored Post, or ‘In Collaboration with…’ as the author.

Crucially, we never accept payment for reviews. Any hardware or software provided for review purposes is done so without any influence on the final score or the content of the article. All revenue received goes directly toward site upkeep.
