Microsoft has announced that June 2022's Games with Gold are Aven Colony, Project Highrise: Architect's Edition, Super Meat Boy, and Raskulls.

As revealed on Xbox Wire, the four Games with Gold offerings will be available to anyone with Xbox Live Gold or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, with Aven Colony and Super Meat Boy available starting on May 1.

Aven Colony is a single player city-building game set on an alien planet called Aven Prime, with the player tasked with building humanity's first extrasolar settlement. First released on PC and later reworked for consoles, the settlers will need fed, watered, and generally kept happy, even amid the bizarre conditions and landscapes of Aven Prime.

Also available on June 1 but only until June 15 is Super Meat Boy, a chaotic platformer known best for its fast-paced and addictive gameplay loop. IGN said it was amazing in our review 9/10 review, as "Super Meat Boy is one of the best modern platformers around. It's infuriating, exasperating, and arduous, but it's also delightful, thrilling, and hilarious."

Available later in the month on June 16 is Project Highrise: Architect's Edition, a 2D tower-building simulation game that tasks players with building revolutionary skyscrapers hosting tons of moving pieces. The Architect's Editions includes the base game plus five expansions taking the game all over the world to Las Vegas, London, Miami, and more.

In our 7/10 review of the base game, IGN said Project Highrise is "a compelling management sim with strong systems, but few customization options make for a visually bland experience."

Last but not least, Raskulls is available on the same day but only available for two weeks until June 30. This 2010 puzzle game was originally released on the Xbox 360 and features an extensive single player campaign alongside multiplayer modes. Players must work their way through each level by smashing the environment and reaching the end in the most efficient way possible.

Be sure to redeem May 2022's Xbox Games with Gold before they leave the service, which includes Yoku's Island Express, The Inner World - The Last Wind Monk, Hydro Thunder Hurricane, and Viva Piñata: Party Animals.

We've just gotten a glimpse at the first gameplay from Sonic Frontiers, the upcoming 'open zone' 3D Sonic game – and you'll see much more in this month's IGN First.

The footage was revealed on Twitter, showing off Sonic running across a lush world, high-speed combat, a boss battle, and more. You can see it below:

Enjoy this small preview of Sonic Frontiers, and tune in all June long for the @IGN First cover story for more world-exclusive reveals! pic.twitter.com/iZhaFtSwio

Our IGN First - featuring a month of content about Sonic Frontiers - will begin tomorrow, June 1 at 9am Pacific / 12pm Eastern / 5pm UK.

After a tease last summer, Sonic Frontiers was officially announced last December, promising "a huge leap forward for the franchise, delivering an evolved gameplay experience that can be enjoyed by longtime Sonic fans and action-adventure enthusiasts alike."

The game was originally scheduled to launch last year to celebrate Sonic's 30th birthday – and it's now launching alongside multiple remakes and spin-offs of Sega games in the next year.

The Little Mermaid has been enjoying a resurgence in popularity lately, thanks in no small part to Disney's upcoming live-action movie. But before that adaptation hits theaters, Iron Circus Comics will be putting its own fresh spin on this classic fairy tale, one which also borrows a bit of inspiration from the smash-hit musical Wicked.

Dubbed The Sea In You, this upcoming YA graphic novel from cartoonist Jessi Sharon is a modernized retelling of The Little Mermaid with some added dark fantasy elements. This version of the iconic love story focuses on a high schooler named Corinth who encounters a deadly mermaid named Skylla while on a beach-cleaning trip.

IGN can exclusively debut a new preview of The Sea In You. Check it out in the slideshow gallery below:

Here's the official description from Iron Circus:

In THE SEA IN YOU, Corinth was just trying to clean up the beach; she never expected to meet a mermaid, let alone be nearly drowned by one. But before long Corinth and mermaid Skylla grow closer through a cautious exchange of stories, gifts, jokes, and sign language. Mermaids, it turns out, eat people — but however terrifying Skylla may look, she’s a little younger, a little smaller, and perhaps a little too soft for all that. Bewitched by Corinth and their growing bond, she learns about all the best things in life on land: books, burgers, donuts, and this strange chattering human sound called laughter. But a storm is brewing – both at sea and in Corinth’s increasingly dangerous relationship with her obsessively jealous boyfriend – and a magical bargain may be the only thing that can save her, at a tremendous cost.

"The Little Mermaid is a story that has captured hearts for generations. A story of love, longing and dreaming of being able to change something in your life. Even yourself. A story of reaching out from your comfort space to take someone's hand," Sharon tells IGN. "In the classic tale, the little mermaid ends sadly after living in pain for someone else. But now I think it is important to show a mermaid story where loving someone makes you want to live more than ever. I wanted to make a mermaid legend with the spirit of the classic story but one that spoke directly from my heart in modern times."

Like the recent The Poorcraft Cookbook and Letters for Lucardo: The Silent Lord, Iron Circus will be relying on an independent crowdfunding campaign to publish The Sea In You. The campaign is live now on the Iron Circus website and will run until June 30, 2022.

In other comic book news, Marvel is kicking off Phase 2 of the Star Wars: The High Republic initiative this fall, and "Weird Al" Yankovic's music is inspiring a new graphic novel.

Xbox has officially revealed its final entries for Xbox Game Pass in June 2022, and it'll include the likes of FIFA 22, Shadowrun Trilogy, Total War: Three Kingdoms (PC), and Naraka: Bladepoint. Far Cry 5 is also now set it hit the service very soon on July 1 as well.

We had already gotten a small preview into what's on its way for Xbox Game Pass. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge recently hit Game Pass on day one of release (June 16), and it was already confirmed that FIFA 22 will be also hitting the service via EA Play on June 23.

Xbox revealed its first set of Game Pass games earlier in the month, with most of these now already on the service including Assassin's Creed: Origins, For Honor: Marching Fire Edition, Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection, Chorus, Disc Room, and more. The not been a full confirmation on everything else coming to Game Pass in the latter half of the month, but there will certainly be another official update from Xbox soon.

Far Cry 5 Is On Xbox Game Pass From July 1

Far Cry 5 has been confirmed as a new entry for Xbox Game Pass on Cloud, Console, and PC. It'll just miss out on the June releases and will instead hit the service on July 1 instead. So, it's not too much longer of a wait.

FIFA 22 Is On Xbox Game Pass Ultimate from June 23 (EA Play)

Xbox has officially announced that FIFA 22 will be coming to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers from June 23. FIFA 22 will be on EA Play over the next week, and with EA Play being included with Game Pass Ultimate, that means you'll also be able to play the game if you've got an Ultimate subscription. You can read our 7/10 review here.

Everything Coming to Xbox Game Pass in June 2022

We all know by now that Xbox likes to release its Game Pass lineup in two waves each month. So, all of the games listed below are just from the first wave of announcements, and you can expect more games to hit the service later in the month.

• For Honor: Marching Fire Edition (Console, PC, Cloud) — June 1
• Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection (Console and PC) — June 2
• Assassin's Creed Origins (Console, PC, Cloud) — June 7
• Chorus (Cloud, Console, and PC) ID@Xbox – June 7
• Disc Room (Cloud, Console, and PC) ID@Xbox – June 7
• Spacelines from the Far Out (Console and PC) ID@Xbox – June 7
• Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge — June 16
• Shadowrun Trilogy: Console Edition (Console) — June 21
• Total War: Three Kingdoms (PC) — June 21
• FIFA 22 (EA Play/ Game Pass Ultimate) — June 23
• Naraka Bladepoint (Console) – June 23
• Far Cry 5 – July 1

Assassin's Creed Origins Is Available on Xbox Game Pass

We've known for a couple of months about Assassin's Creed Origins coming to Game Pass, but you'll can now play it at a higher frame rate on Xbox Series X/S after Origins got its 60FPS patch on June 2.

If you also want to experience all the DLC for Origins now it's coming to the service, the Season Pass is $28 (was $39.99) on the Microsoft Store. Game Pass Ultimate members can also be getting access to the Deluxe Pack for Origins. The Deluxe Pack includes The Ambush at Sea mission, The Desert Cobra pack (including one outfit, two legendary weapons, one legendary shield, and one mount) and three Ability points.

Everything Leaving Xbox Game Pass This Month

These games will leave Xbox Game Pass on June 15. Remember, you can still buy these games at 20% off currently with your Game Pass membership, so you don't have to say goodbye forever.

• Darkest Dungeon (Cloud, Console, and PC)
• Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance (Cloud, Console, and PC)
• Greedfall (Cloud, Console, and PC)
• Limbo (Cloud, Console, and PC)
• Worms Rumble (Cloud, Console, and PC)

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge is on Xbox Game Pass on June 16

In what is an absolutely radical addition to Game Pass, TMNT: Shredder's Revenge will be coming to the service on Day One of release for Xbox. With the release date of June 16 announced during Summer Game Fest, the news also comes along with info that Casey Jones will be a playable character, and a new 6-player mode was also announced, alongside the games' addition to Game Pass.

All-new PS Plus Launches This Month in US and Europe

The all-new PlayStation Plus service, including the new game subscription tiers Extra and Premium, is launching on June 13 in the US, and June 23 in Europe. The new library of games will seemingly introduce a competitor for Game Pass, with some big name PS5 titles set to be included in the service right away, and a few third party titles such as Red Dead Redemption 2, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, and more.

What it won't be is releasing any new games on the service for day one of release. This means you won't be able to play God of War Ragnarok via PS Plus on launch day. But, if you've got the patience, you will still likely be able to play the game via the service around 1-2 years down the line.

Best Game Pass Deal Right Now: 2-Years of Game Pass Ultimate for $135 (Save $224)

First up, your Game Pass subscription must not currently be active - I repeat, you must not have an active Game Pass for this to work. Once you're confident, proceed to the next step.

Next, you need to invest in up to 3-years worth of Xbox Live Gold. You can easily buy 12-month Xbox Live Gold codes from Amazon or other retailers, costing $60/£50 depending on your region.

I Recommend Stacking 2-Years of Xbox Live Gold

The maximum amount of stacking for Gold subscriptions is 36-months (costing $180), any more than that will be lost. So, to keep things safe for those who currently have a Gold membership, I recommend sticking to just 2-years' worth (costing $120/£100).

Now, here's the fun part. Once you've redeemed these codes and stacked your Xbox Live Gold membership up to your liking, you can then convert this time to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate at a 1:1 ratio.

Head to the Xbox Live Gold upgrade page and proceed to convert the time you've paid for directly into Game Pass Ultimate. If you've never used the upgrade feature before, this will cost $1/£1 (total cost coming to $121/£101). If you have used this before, it will instead cost you $14.99/£10.99 to upgrade.

Overall, at most, you'll be paying only $135 for 2-years of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate (instead of $359). If you manage to pull off a 3-year conversion, at most you'll be paying $195 instead (instead of $539). Now that's a big discount. Once you're done, just make sure you turn off auto renewal as well.

UPDATE: Originally this article listed Escape Academy with a June 28 release date. Escape Academy is now scheduled to release July 14. The article has been changed to reflect this new information.

We're set for another wave of games being entered into the Game Pass hall of fame this month, including the much anticipated Ubisoft epic Assassin's Creed Origins. Xbox has now revealed its first set of Game Pass games for the month, with the other confirmed titles including For Honor: Marching Fire Edition, Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection, Chorus, Disc Room, and more.

Remember, this is only the first wave of games we're expecting this month, and another set of announcements for Game Pass entries is expected soon. Moreover, as we all know, Xbox and Bethesda's Game Showcase is also this month on June 12, so we're sure to see plenty of other games coming to the service this year and beyond as well.

Assassin's Creed Origins 60FPS Patch on June 2 Confirmed

We've known for a couple of months about Assassin's Creed Origins coming to Game Pass, but you'll also be able to play it at a higher frame rate on Xbox Series X/S as Origins is getting a 60FPS patch on June 2, just in time for the Game Pass drop on June 7.

If you also want to experience all the DLC for Origins now it's coming to the service, the Season Pass is $39.99 on the Microsoft Store. Game Pass Ultimate members will also be getting access to the Deluxe Pack on June 7 for Origins. The Deluxe Pack includes The Ambush at Sea mission, The Desert Cobra pack (including one outfit, two legendary weapons, one legendary shield, and one mount) and three Ability points.

Konami's eFootball won't be getting PES's beloved Master League mode until 2023, and fans will have to pay for it.

eFootball's official Twitter account revealed its plans for the game going forward, including a breakdown of what's free and what isn't, and detailing what's coming this summer, winter, and then next year.

The only content listed for 2023 so far is Master League - a mode that fans were already surprised to see missing from the game's official launch - but it's not the only content that will cost players money.

Paid Content
- The number of teams that can be used in leagues and club teams will be expanded and distributed as additional paid content by the end of 2022
- Master League will be available as additional paid content during 2023

— eFootball (@play_eFootball) May 31, 2022

"The number of teams that can be used in leagues and club teams will be expanded and distributed as additional paid content by the end of 2022," the tweet said.

Also on the schedule is the Lobby Match mode, that lets players create rooms online and play matches with their Dream Teams, which is expected this summer as a free update.

Cross-platform support across consoles and PC will be available later in winter, as well as "some editing functions", though the tweet didn't explain what these would be.

eFootball's Twitter said these updates were in response to fan feedback meaning they're likely not the only new features coming to the game between now and next year.

Konami has already announced that version 1.1.0, which is available on June 2, will improve the win/loss decision-making in online matches, enhance server capacity, and set the foundations for compatibility between the console and new mobile versions of eFootball.

The April 1.0.0 update to eFootball that marked its official launch was the development team's attempt to "regain the trust" of players after a pretty disastrous pre-release version launched in October (that IGN said was awful).

The official release didn't improve a lot, however, as in our 4/10 review, IGN said: "Yes, at least eFootball 2022 does now have a fully-fledged mode to take it past the point of being a demo, but it’s still lacking so much more than you’d expect from a 1.0 version of a game."
