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 the November 2011 issue, the magazine was revamped and reverted to its original name of Xbox World.
On 13 November 2012, it was announced that both Xbox World and sister magazine PSM3 were to be closed down by publisher Future.
The final issue of both magazines went on sale on 12 December 2012.
