Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is coming to PS5 on December 8

Microsoft is bringing its popular flight simulation game, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, to the PlayStation 5 on December 8, 2025. The PS5 version will feature the same level of graphical detail and accurate simulation of real-life airplanes, geography, and weather conditions as the original game. The game will also support the PS VR 2 headset, providing an even more immersive cockpit experience. This announcement is part of a growing trend of Microsoft bringing its formerly exclusive games to Sony's console. Games like Sea of Thieves, Pentiment, and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle have all been made available on the PS5. This strategy is likely part of Microsoft's Game Pass and game streaming initiatives, as well as a sign of increasing collaboration between the two companies. The article also notes that the trend works both ways, with PlayStation-exclusive games like Helldivers 2 also making their way to Xbox, often becoming best-sellers on the platform. This cross-platform approach suggests a shift in the gaming industry towards more shared experiences and a focus on accessibility for players across different platforms.
