The list of games coming to PlayStation Now in June 2021 still hasn't been fully revealed, but we already know that one of the games will be Sega's new release Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown. There are also several reports that there will be not one, not two, but three Sonic games added to PS Now: Sonic Mania, Sonic Forces, and Team Sonic Racing.



So far, that's four games being added this month, all from Sega. Will there be any more games added to the list? The official announcement should appear within the next few days.

That's an excellent batch of games!

Seven games in one month is the most we've seen in the last year and a half. Combine that with the fact that one of these games (Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown) is a "day one" new release, and we could be finally seeing Sony deliver on their promises to bring PlayStation Now to the next level.
