I keep looking through a lot of threads and googling root for the pixel but am not seeing if you can root the pixel XL with the may update yet.... Can someone clarify for me if it is possible? And if so, can you point me to instructions on how to do it? Thank you so much

It is not currently possible for VZW devices. I haven't done a ton of research on the unlocked device but I do think root is possible.

If you're unlocked then you simply flash supersu zip in recovery and flash the boot image patch right after. If you're locked and on anything after 7.1 with a Verizon pixel then you're sol. If you're unlocked then you can flash away.
