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.Microsoft has released a completely new-look dashboard for the Xbox One. And, with it, the opportunity to rediscover a huge library of Xbox 360 games that will now be available on the newer console.
Games like Gears of War 3, Fallout 3, Mirror's Edge and Fable 2 will be available at launch.
At first, 104 games will be available. Microsoft has promised to add to that over time — with Halo Reach, Halo Wars, the Bioshock Games and Skate 3 set to arrive soon.
Microsoft isn't making all Xbox 360 games available instantly because the new feature works by pretending to be an Xbox 360, through an emulator. Because it is an emulator, not every game might work straight away — and Microsoft is making sure that everything works as it should before it starts making them available.
All of the games that players own should show up automatically, since Microsoft will be cross-referencing them with your gamertag. They should appear instantly in the games list — reboot the console if they're not there.
Here is the full list of every game that will be available from now.
