Huge Rainbow Six feature

In Rainbow Six: Siege, we're afraid to say it does matter if you're black or white. It's attack vs. defence, terrorist vs. counter-terrorist - which is why our enormous preview takes two sides. The left page lays out how to rescue a hostage, the right explains how you stop that from happening. Together you get a v iew of what's shaping up to be one of the year's most exciting new prospects.

Elite: Dangerous on Xbox One

Elite: Dangerous on Xbox One

New-gen's all about scope, the power of a machine that lets you go anywhere, do anything. Elite: Dangerous' 400 billion explorable star systems are about the perfect way to show that off, then. Our feature runs down just what you'll be up to in what's more than probably console gaming's biggest ever universe - and we talk to a few of the people (gods?) who created it all.

Phil Spencer interview

We talk to the world's foremost proponent of T-shirt based advertising (oh, and the man who runs the entirety of Xbox) about his first year helming Xbox One, from cross-play to pricing structures to first-party studios to his favourite games.

Three articles does not a magazine make - we have gigantic rundowns of the best AAA and indie games still to come, a packed reviews section featuring more than one of our favourite games of the year so far and we look backwards, covering our favourite #IDARB hashbombs (above) even going all the way back for a replay of 360 launch game, Perfect Dark Zero.

Joe first fell in love with games when a copy of The Lion King on SNES became his stepfather in 1994. When the cartridge left his mother in 2001, he turned to his priest - a limited edition crystal Xbox - for guidance. And now he's here.

Spring has sprung, meaning people are smashing down their front doors to flood onto the streets in T-shirts and skirts and occasionally nothing at all (I live in a terrible neighbourhood). And do you know what that reminds me of? Using a battering ram to angrily cross the lintel of a suburban home in order to rid it of a terrorist infestation. I love Spring.

Yes, Rainbow Six Siege is on its way, and our own Alex has adorned our cover and a swathe of the inner pages with his thoughts on the game. You can read more about that, and the rest of this month's biggest stories, above.

To prepare you for the return of Rainbow Six, we've also provided you with some reading material in the form of a big, free supplement about the series, reminiscing over every game in the quietly revolutionary shooter series.
