The June Games with Gold line up has been confirmed by Xbox

A new month means a new line up of titles from the Xbox Games with Gold program and this time around, city building and management is the focus, for some reason.

Here are the games, including when they can be obtained:

Aven Colony - June 1 to 30

Build a new world and a life for humanity. It’s your job to develop Aven Colony on the strange new world of Aven Prime. Use construction drones to help your small settlements grow into massive cities. It won’t be easy. This exotic planet is filled with deserts, tundras, and teeming jungles. There are strange alien lifeforms and winter is coming which will freeze over the entire planet. Delve into your new home’s mysterious past by leading exploratory expeditions. Govern the growing populace using multiple overlay modes for crops, citizens, happiness, water and more. Life is difficult but the future can be bright if you make it so on Aven Colony.
