According to the PlayStation Blog post, Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown will be free for PS Plus subscribers in June and July. Alternatively, it will also available via PlayStation Now at launch.
Finally, PS Plus members can also get Star Wars Squadrons for free, which is also completely playable in VR.
In NME’s review, Jordan Oloman said “Squadrons is well worth the money for the gameplay alone, especially if you want to get as close as you can to the childhood fantasy of Star Wars space combat”, praising the multiplayer aspect while criticising the story.
Both PS4 titles are also backwards compatible on PS5 consoles.
Looking ahead, Sony is set to reveal more Horizon Forbidden West gameplay in the next State of Play tomorrow (May 27) with a 20-minute livestream starting at 9am PDT, 5pm BST, and 6pm CEST.
An unannounced Final Fantasy spin-off is also being reportedly helmed by Nioh developer Team Ninja as a PS5 exclusive.
