Microsoft Flight Simulator’s free PSVR 2 update arrives next month

As part of Microsoft’s ongoing push towards multi-platform releases the console maker has been bringing much of its back catalogue of Xbox exclusives to additional systems. One of the biggest in recent months was the addition of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, which arrived on PS5 last December. At the time it was promised that the game would be updated with PSVR 2 support post-launch. Sure enough, the free update will soon be upon us, with PSVR 2 support officially arriving next month alongside ‘Sim Update 5’.

Taking to the PlayStation Blog, Asobo Studios’ Jorg Neumann detailed some of the many alterations which were needed in order to get MSFS 2024 feeling correct on PSVR 2, stating:

“Cockpit interactions in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 are complex. There are so many different instruments, knobs, and switches to interact with. Every interaction model had to be redesigned to fit the PS VR2 Sense controllers to action them in a natural and intuitive manner.”

The full blog post detailing all of the various tweaks and changes made in order to translate the experience to PSVR 2 can be found HERE.

Of course, the most important question is when will the update be released? Though we have not gotten an exact date, Neumann confirmed during a recent appearance at FSWeekend 2026 that the PSVR 2 mode will arrive some time in April alongside Flight Simulator’s ‘Sim Update 5’. We don’t have too much longer to wait.
