From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

The Xbox series X has been on and off the shelves since November 2020 and now that stock availability is starting to return, there’s never been a better time to pick up some new games.

Released alongside the Xbox series S, the new console from Microsoft has been popular for its strong line up of games, some of which are available through the Xbox Game Pass, which has proven to be terrific value.

If you want the most powerful console gaming experience from Microsoft, then the Xbox series X is the way to go. It should also be noted that the Xbox series S doesn’t have a disc drive, so make sure you’re able to play some of your existing games before you choose your Xbox console.

Whether you’re looking for the biggest exclusives scheduled to come out like Stalker 2 or Starfield we’ll be sure to include every big Xbox title we’re looking forward to playing in 2022.

We’ll also be including all other cross-platform releases that have a confirmed worldwide release date.
