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.

Xbox has confirmed its list of upcoming titles expected to arrive on Game Pass this September – with big hitters Deathloop and Assassin’s Creed Odyssey leading the charge. Deathloop is an interesting addition, as it was previously a PS5 console exclusive (as well as one of our top games for the console).

The new line-up was announced during the Tokyo Game Show, and, as you would imagine, there are plenty of big JRPG games that players will be able to sink their teeth into as well.

Among the suite of other titles available on Game Pass this month are Disney’s Dreamlight Valley and You Suck at Parking, to name just a couple.

The games are playable on console and PC, but as new ones are added to Game Pass, older ones will be removed from the service.

To find out which games will be coming to Xbox Game Pass in September, and which ones have been removed, keep reading the rest of this article.
