Your support helps us to tell the story

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.

Your support makes all the difference.

Good news for PC gamers. This weekend gaming platform Steam is unveiling its largest ever “free weekend” promotion, allowing users to play ten recent titles for (you guessed it) free.

The promotion starts at 10am Pacific Time in the US or 6pm tonight for UK gamers, with the games – including Company of Heroes 2, Payday 2 and XCOM: Enemy Unknown – free to play until Monday.

Even better, anyone who tries the games and likes them can purchase them permanently at a discounted price. Excited? Check out the full list of available titles below:

  • Awesomenauts
  • Blade Symphony
  • Company of Heroes 2
  • Don't Starve
  • Grid 2
  • Injustice: Gods Among Us
  • Killing Floor
  • Payday 2
  • Trine 2
  • XCOM: Enemy Unknown

You can check out our review of team-based alien shooter XCOM here, described as "a tense, terrifying and beautifully poised game of tactical alien hunting."
