PS Plus free games for June include another brand new PS5 game
Strap in for another great month
Sony revealed the latest games headed to PlayStation Plus via a post on PlayStation Blog. In June, PS4 and PS5 players can look forward to three new games: Operation: Tango, Star Wars: Squadrons and Virtua Fighter 5: Ultimate Showdown.
For Operation: Tango, only the PS5 version is being offered on PlayStation Plus, even though the game is also available for purchase on PS4. The game features co-op as players work together in the roles of a hacker and agent, providing very different perspectives on shared problems.
Star Wars: Squadrons does not have an official PS5 version but the game does look better and run smoother on Sony's high-end console, similar to other games with small improvements but not a fully separate version.

Additionally, anyone who owns a PSVR headset can play through the entirety of Star Wars: Squadrons in virtual reality. Players take on the role of an Imperial or New Republic pilot across the campaign and multiplayer, engaging in vicious dogfights with iconic craft like the X-Wing or TIE Fighters.
Virtua Fighter 5: Ultimate Showdown is also a PS4 game, providing classic fighting game action in local co-op or online.
Operation: Tango and Star Wars: Squadrons will be offered through July 5, while Virtua Fighter 5: Ultimate Showdown will be available to grab until August 2.
Don't forget the May games
The games being offered on PlayStation Plus for May, such as Battlefield 5 and Stranded Deep, are still available right now. If you haven't added them to your account, make sure to do so before June, so you can keep them forever.
