Ziff Davis Media's Game Group announced plans to increase the frequency of Xbox Nation (XBN) magazine from bimonthly to monthly, effective in March. Launched in December 2001 as a quarterly, XBN targets hard-core Xbox gamers.

"This move allows us to properly cover this progressively growing market of gamers barely tapped by the publishing community," said Game Group senior vice president Dale Strang in a press release. To ease the transition to a monthly frequency, former creative director Simon Cox will return as editor-in-chief of XBN, with current editor-in-chief Evan Shamoon becoming editor.
