June has officially begun, and that means PlayStation Plus subscribers have a new batch of free PS5 and PS4 games as part of their subscriptions. The free games this month are some of the best we’ve seen so far this year. Virtua Fighter 5: Ultimate Showdown, Star Wars: Squadrons, and Operation Tango are all free, and two of those games were available via the service on the same day they release.
PS5’s Operation Tango launched day one for PlayStation Plus on Tuesday, June 1. A cooperative spy adventure game, Operation Tango is set in the near future and lets you play as a Hacker or Agent as you work together with only your voice to communicate. As such, the game requires both players to have a microphone. Check out the trailer below to learn more.
Virtua Fighter 5: Ultimate Showdown, meanwhile, is a remaster from Yakuza developer Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio for PS4. It makes its day one debut through PlayStation Plus, as well, and it is also available through PlayStation Now. The game has a redesigned UI and improved visuals, and its success could lead to future games in the series.
“This project started as a part of Sega’s 60th Anniversary Celebration; it was made as a gift for our community,” chief producer Seiji Aoki said in a chat with GameSpot prior to the reveal. “We want as many people to play it as possible. Launching on both PlayStation Plus and PlayStation Now allows us to offer the definitive Virtua Fighter experience as an essentially ‘free’ game for millions of players around the world, many of whom may just be trying out the series for the first time!”
Star Wars: Squadrons was originally released in October 2020. The multiplayer dogfighting space game also has a single-player campaign that takes place after the events of Return of the Jedi. You alternate between playing as the Empire and the New Republic.
You can snag a 12-month PS Plus code for $40 at eBay.
