The Sim Update 5 Beta is now available on PS5 and PS5 Pro! This Beta includes PlayStation VR2 support in addition to many other improvements and fixes in Sim Update 5.
Digital owners of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 on PS5 will find a new Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 Beta product in their Game Library on PS5. If you purchased a physical disc copy of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, you will be able to participate in future Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 Betas on PS5 beginning with Sim Update 6.
If this is your first time participating in the Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 Beta, please note the following:
- All Career Mode specializations are automatically unlocked and all users are granted a large sum of credits to purchase and test various aircraft in Career Mode.
- The in-sim Marketplace is disabled, though purchases from the base sim are carried over to the Beta.
- The Challenge League leaderboards are separate from the base sim.
- Progress in Career mode and Challenge League is not carried over between the beta and the base sim (and vice versa).
- Trophies are disabled and cannot be earned.
Please note the following Marketplace aircraft will not be fully functional in the Beta due to a missing add-on. We are actively working to resolve this as soon as possible.
- Antonov An-225 (in Aviator)
- ATR 42-600/72-600 (in Aviator)
- Airbus Helicopter H225 (in Premium Deluxe)
