Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 has been officially confirmed for PS5. Slated for release on December 8, the flight sim will also feature support the PlayStation VR2 headset in 2026. It was announced during the recent State of Play with a new trailer, which you can check out below.
When it comes out on Sony’s consoles, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 will feature 125 highly-detailed aircrafts across a variety of different types. They can range from bush trip planes, rotorcrafts, eVTOLs, airships, and steerable balloons to full-sized business jets, heavy military transporters and fighter jets. All of these can be flown and landed across 40,000 airports and runways, and more than 60,000 helipads from across the world.
The PS5 release of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 will make use of DualSense features, including adaptive triggers that can respond to different speeds and surface types on the ground, while also offering sloped resistance in the air. Air traffic control communications can come in through the controller’s speakers, and there is also support for gyro controllers, and customisation options for the touchpad.
Pre-orders for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 on PS5 are available now, and come with a bonus additional aircraft – the Northrop T38-A Talon. There are also Deluxe, Premium Deluxe, and Aviator Editions available, which come with a host of their own additional goodies, along with advanced access to the title on December 3.
