Xbox World 360 is a British Xbox and Xbox 360 magazine published by Future Publishing.

History

Xbox World 360 began life as Xbox World, with issue one released in early 2003, over a year after the Xbox's release. Published by Computec Media, the editor at launch was Pat Garratt (now of Eurogamer), and the managing editor was former CU Amiga editor Tony Horgan.

Xbox World, alongside sister magazine PlayStation World, was acquired by Future Publishing in late 2003. The majority of the staff departed during the magazine's move from London to Future's Bath offices. The editor for the first Future-published Xbox World was Lee Hall.

In September 2005, Xbox World relaunched as Xbox World 360 under the guidance of former NGC editor Tim Weaver. It contains an achievements/hint/cheats/walkthrough book and a double sided four-hour disc including a DVD side and a HD side to be ran on the Xbox 360 via the media blade.

Xbox World is the UK's best-selling independent Xbox 360 magazine.

Other staff members include:

- Tim Weaver (Staff Writer) - Mathew Pellet (Staff Writer) - John Strike - Art Man Hoody - matt castle (who went to oxford university)
