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.Xbox One owners can now play the new Tom Clancy game, The Division — a day before people with PCs or PlayStation 4s.
The Division is a third-person shooter in the vein of other recent Tom Clancy games. It is online only, and available for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.
The plot revolves around a smallpox pandemic that is transmitted across the US, and the game depicts a group of military agents as they attempt to survive after everyone else has left. The game challenges players to stay alive as long as they can, either competitively or against one another.
The game has opened exclusively on Xbox One, and will start on PC and PlayStation 4 on Friday. All of the betas will close on 31 January, at the end of the weekend.
The only sure-fire way to get onto the beta is to pre-order a copy of the game. But some codes are being given out on social media — and other players have had success ordering the game, receiving the code and then cancelling that order, though that loophole now appears to have been closed.
The game includes a co-operative mode as well as a competitive one. Players can also try out the various other parts the game, such as the character customisation.
