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.

Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass is a great way to save money and still experience the best games the console has to offer without breaking the bank.

Firm favourites such as Halo Infinite, Microsoft Flight Simulator and Forza Horizon 5 are all available through the subscription service and every month, even more games are added to its expansive library.

But as new titles are added, old ones are cycled out, and Microsoft takes down older games to make room for newer ones each month. If you’re late to the party and want to purchase one of these games before they’re taken off the service, Microsoft offers a 20 per cent discount in the lead-up to their removal, giving you a chance to own these games outright at a hefty discount.

Once bought, these games can be downloaded to the console and played any time, regardless of whether they are still available through Game Pass.

We have a list of seven games that will be removed from Xbox Game Pass from 31 May. If you want to try them before they’re removed, keep reading the rest of the article below.
