"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.
