Xbox Game Pass on console and on PC are slightly different services from one another. This distinction is not in how they operate or function, but in the library of games they actually offer, with some titles being exclusive to consoles and others only being PC. The main incentive of the service, though, regardless of the platform, is the Xbox Game Pass’ Day One release system, where the latest and greatest games coming from Xbox itself are available for download the same day they can be purchased....

As their title implies, the defender classes are dedicated to keeping the party protected and staying alive at all times. Since the series also makes use of an ‘aggro’ mechanic, defenders are also tasked with keeping the enemy’s attention, so their allies are free to deal damage or support.

After an acrimonious end to dealings with Donald Trump, China might have had a welcome respite from Joe Biden’s coalition building too. But as Russian troops amassed on Ukraine’s borders at the beginning of the year, “Xi Jinping seemed determined to tie Beijing’s fate as closely and visibly to Russia’s as possible,” Andrew Small, a Berlin-based researcher with the German Marshall Fund of the United States think tank, writes in his new book....

There should be points galore in the Cardinals-Seahawks matchup, and so we’ve stacked Kyler Murray with Larry Fitzgerald. The Arizona offense is due for a breakout. We’re also using TE Will Dissly from that game, expecting it to be a shootout. Beyond that, we have playmaking wide receivers and No. 1 running backs to make this a lineup that should have high-end scoring across the board.
