Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 Arrives On PlayStation 5 This December, PSVR2 Update Set For 2026

Nearly a year ago, Asobo Studio shipped Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. At release, the game was ushered with new peripherals from Thrustmaster with the T.Flight Hotas One Microsoft Flight Simulator Edition. However, there was some concerns for the game elsewhere. Those that paid attention to the Deluxe Edition noticed that the steelbook that came with the game was absent of a physical copy of the title – a growing trend for Xbox as of recent.

For our review of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, we scored the title a 9/10. “If you can look beyond the occasional performance hiccups on PC and the lingering graphical quirks that continue to be addressed through updates, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is an experience that simply shouldn’t be missed. For the ultimate immersion, a flight stick is highly recommended, but even with a controller, the game delivers an engaging and authentic sense of piloting.”

Previously, it was rumored that Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 would aim to ship for more platforms. At the PlayStation State of Play on Wednesday, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 was announced for PlayStation 5. You can watch the trailer in the video below:

“With up to 125 highly detailed aircraft, we have developed the largest and most diverse fleet ever assembled for a flight simulator. We have an incredibly wide range of aircraft: nimble ultralights, a wide variety of general aviation aircraft, famous bush trip planes, rotorcraft, eVTOLs, airships, steerable balloons, all the way to sleek business jets, a fleet of narrow- and wide-body airliners and even heavy military transporters and fighter jets,” head Jorg Neumann writes.

“We unleashed the full power of the PS5 and PS5 Pro so aviation enthusiasts can now, for the first time on PlayStation, fly anywhere on the globe at any time of day or year, land at over 40,000 airports and runways and at over 60,000 helipads. Explore all seven continents in stunning detail. Fly on your own or with friends from around world, and even fly with accurate, real-time, real-world air-traffic.”

Adding: “Simmers on PS5 will test their aviation skills in some of the most visually stunning and technically detailed aircraft with accurate aerodynamics fully flight-tested by real pilots. PS VR2 owners will be able to experience the entire game through their headset and Sense controllers with a free update that will be available in 2026.”
