PS5 Beta

When do you think the PS5 Beta will release? Microsoft said “soon.” I would honestly hope it’s this week but we don’t know for sure, just wanted to ask and see theories!

I believe in the main PS5 discussion thread they said December though I don’t recall seeing an exact date.

December 8th.

You can apply to join but it doesn’t necessarily mean that you will be selected. Places are allegedly limited. The link above gives the joining link.

Does anyone know if current addons through the Microsoft in-game store on PC and XBox will carry over to Playstation? Or will there be a separate marketplace there?

Hi folks,

Unfortunately I’m not able to confirm exactly when the PS5 Beta will begin for those enrolled, but I’m sure we’ll announce when it does start!

All of the information we can currently share about MSFS 2024 on PlayStation 5 can be found via our FAQ.

Thanks

It started according to reddit… :thinking:

This question was asked during the developer livestream (Timeline here).
73:45 Q: Will PC/Xbox Marketplace purchases be in our library if we buy the PS5 version?
They are totally separate products.

I’m using it now and reusing my hotas 4 and dual sense controller. There is an option on the menu for aircraft to select msfs2020 for aircraft but it’s not working at the moment. On 1st flight very bad bug in the controls but only one flight. Found my car in 3 different places :slight_smile:

Hi! I am playing the PS5 Beta already, it was released yesterday…. Looks just great, plays smooth. Still Lots to discover (hardware, keyboards, mouse).

Hi! Where do you plug in your Hotas? Front or back of your PS5? :thinking: I do not get my thrustmaster TCA A320 to work…

And to you own a Ps5 pro? It yes, do you see a pro Support?

I used the front usb socket for my hotas 4, I haven’t tried my tca airbus X gear and I very much doubt it would work anyway, Thrustmaster would have to do a firmware like they did for the F1 Ferrari wheel to make it work on the PS5. The control bug I mentioned above? The yoke turned the wrong way on take off but was ok once I levelled off, this was in the C172 G1000. PS5 standard not Pro but very smooth. Where are we supposed to report any problems that we find?

Can we prepare social media content showing a few images from flying on PlayStation without displaying any titles from the Forum site, and share that we are part of the process? thank you

Can I share some catches form ps5 video to make strong my statements

Hi @Belya1820, there is no NDA for the PlayStation5 Beta, meaning you are welcome to share images from flying on PlayStation. Please use our dedicated PlayStation 5 Beta category that you will have access to for discussions on the Beta. We also ask politely to please not ping Community Managers to answer your question, as per our forum Code of Conduct.

Thanks

my bad. so sorry. thank you

Are external devices (such as Thrustmaster) used on PlayStation as they are on computers? Has anyone tried this? If so, how is the performance? I have some tests in mind based on that.

Only T Flight Hotas 4 has been approved so far
