Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 Adds Native PSVR2 Support on PS5 in Free Update

The VR patch could give Sony’s PSVR2 a flagship experience on console.

Overview

  • Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 on PS5 received a free PSVR2 update Thursday, bringing full virtual-reality cockpit play to the game.
  • Asobo Studio developed the PSVR2 mode over an extended period, reportedly looking to Gran Turismo 7’s acclaimed VR setup as a reference.
  • The update supports more than 125 aircraft with first‑person VR views, covering small planes, helicopters, fighter jets, and larger airliners, according to the game’s social posts.
  • Push Square says it will publish hands‑on impressions in the coming days, which will clarify performance, comfort, and feature execution in VR.
  • Xbox consoles still do not support VR, making PS5 the only console where Flight Simulator offers a headset experience, a gap that could raise PSVR2’s value for simulation fans.
