Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 might be soaring onto PlayStation 5 consoles by the end of 2025, a leaker suggests. Xbox is increasingly bringing its previously exclusive titles to other platforms, and this trend shows no sign of slowing down.
Rumors about Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 heading to PS5 and the Nintendo Switch 2 first surfaced in January 2025. This follows whispers that Halo might also break its exclusivity. While neither Microsoft nor Sony has confirmed these reports, the move aligns with Xbox’s recent strategy of releasing first-party games on competing consoles.
NateTheHate, a leaker known for accurate predictions, confirmed the PS5 release for Microsoft Flight Simulator. He indicated it would arrive sometime in 2025, possibly around the game’s one-year anniversary in November. This potential release coincides with STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl, another former Xbox exclusive, also slated for PS5 in late 2025.
Could Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 land on PS5 in late 2025?
Bringing Flight Simulator to PlayStation would mark a significant shift for Microsoft’s approach to exclusivity. The game was a top seller on the Xbox Store in 2024, making its expansion to more platforms a smart business move to broaden its appeal.
Beyond Microsoft Flight Simulator, insiders suggest more Xbox titles could head to PlayStation. Tom Warren of The Verge reported that Starfield might receive a PS5 version in 2025, a claim echoed by NateTheHate. Lingering rumors also point to a potential Halo release on PlayStation and Switch.
