Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 Is Coming to PS5 on December 8, 2025

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 will launch on PlayStation 5 on December 8, 2025. The PS5 edition promises the same high-fidelity visuals, realistic aircraft and live weather/geography simulation that define the franchise. During Sony’s State of Play, Microsoft confirmed PS VR2 support is planned as a free update in 2026, bringing more immersive cockpit experiences to PS5 players.

What to expect

• Full graphical detail and large commercial aircraft carried over from the original.
• Real-world weather and map data for authentic flight conditions.
• PS VR2 support coming in a free update (2026) for immersive cockpit gameplay.

This release is part of Microsoft’s ongoing strategy to bring former Xbox/PC exclusives to PlayStation — following titles like Sea of Thieves and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. It also reflects cross-platform opportunities for both Microsoft and Sony; recent cross-platform launches have performed well across stores.
