MH-60 Release on PS5 Feels Incomplete Without Mission Hub
First of all — the MH-60 itself is fantastic.
The helicopter is one of the most exciting additions to MSFS 2024 for console players, especially for those of us who enjoy multiplayer operations, sling loads, SAR flights, and realistic helicopter missions.
But right now, the release feels strangely incomplete.
A huge part of the MH-60 marketing and community excitement was tied to the Mission Hub experience — dynamic missions, operational gameplay, sling-load tasks, coordinated multiplayer scenarios, and overall purpose-built helicopter content.
On console, especially PS5, it currently feels like we received the aircraft without the ecosystem that was showcased around it.
The result is that many players expected a more integrated experience, almost like a bundle:
-
MH-60 helicopter
-
Mission Hub
-
Operational missions and gameplay loop
Instead, we only received part of that package.
We understand there may be technical, certification, or platform limitations involving Microsoft and Sony, but communication on this has been misleading. For many console users, it genuinely feels like advertising focused heavily on features that are not actually available to us yet.
We are asking Microsoft, Sony, and the developers to:
-
Prioritize Mission Hub release on console
-
Release it free for existing MH-60 owners
-
Improve communication and transparency about the rollout
-
Support the helicopter gameplay experience that was originally showcased
The MH-60 deserves its full ecosystem.
Right now the aircraft is excellent — but it feels like only half the experience arrived.
We really hope the Mission Hub release becomes a priority because the helicopter community on console is ready for it.
