When and where can you download the new PS Plus games? The 3 new PS Plus games are available for subscribers to download at no additional cost in the PlayStation Store starting now (June 1).
Star Wars Squadrons
What is Star Wars Squadrons? Star Wars: Squadrons is an arcade-style sci-fi flight simulator set in the Star Wars universe, played from a cockpit perspective. The story takes place after the events of the film “Episode VI – Return of the Jedi”, so after the Battle of Endor and the destruction of the second Death Star. Here, you engage in fast-paced, action-packed space battles in iconic ships as a pilot of the New Republic or the Galactic Empire, either in a solo campaign or in multiplayer mode (the latter not being particularly extensive).
You should check out Star Wars Squadrons if you remember classics like X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter, have always wanted to fly as a Star Wars pilot, or generally enjoy action-packed space battles. Because here you are truly in the thick of it.

Virtua Fighter V
What is Virtua Fighter V? Virtua Fighter 5 is a polished version of Sega’s 2006 fighting game classic. Here, you compete in an international tournament as one of many fighters against other martial artists and must prove your skills with the controller. The core gameplay, i.e., the fights, should be largely identical to Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown (from 2010), but the re-release for PS4 is supposed to boast several improvements and new features, such as updated graphics or new online features. The title is available directly at launch through PlayStation Plus.
You should check out Virtua Fighter V if you are a fan of the “Virtua Fighter” series or generally have a heart for arcade fighting games like Street Fighter, Tekken, or Mortal Kombat.

Operation: Tango
What is Operation: Tango? Operation: Tango is a cooperative adventure that requires 2 players and microphones. The worldwide missions cannot be completed alone; you are only connected through communication. Thus, you work together as an agent and hacker and must combine your skills through communication to overcome various challenges and cooperative puzzles to save the world from a global high-tech threat.
A cool addition is the so-called Friend Pass. In short: Two hack, infiltrate, and save the world, but only one pays. If you own the game, all your friends can join you in the agent adventure for free. By the way: this game is also coming directly on release on June 1 to PS Plus.
You should check out Operation: Tango if you generally enjoy co-op games, are a team player, value communication highly, and like solving puzzles and tackling challenges.

You can play them without restrictions as long as the subscription is active – even if it has expired in between.
