Magazines

The Official Xbox Magazine (OXM) was a flagship publication dedicated to the original Xbox console, serving as a cornerstone for fans during its early 2000s prime. Renowned for its bold, visually striking design and comprehensive coverage, OXM provided gamers with exclusive insights into the Xbox ecosystem. Each issue featured a mix of in-depth game previews, reviews, developer interviews, tips, and news about Microsoft’s ground breaking console and its growing library of titles. One of the magazine’s defining features was its inclusion of demo discs, which allowed players to sample upcoming games, access exclusive content, and explore bonus material like trailers and playable demos. These discs became a major draw, offering a hands-on look at the latest and greatest the console had to offer. OXM championed Xbox’s innovation, such as its robust hardware and Xbox Live, the pioneering online multiplayer service. The magazine often explored these elements in detail, educating readers on the console's capabilities while fostering a passionate community of fans. Today, OXM is fondly remembered as an essential part of the original Xbox experience.
