Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024

Push Square

Agreement—

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is without a doubt the most ambitious and polished sim on the PS5 – but it's not without its faults. Slow loading, visual inconsistencies, an underwhelming sound mix, and plenty of bugs pull this otherwise exceptional experience back down to earth.But if you can accept its shortcomings and you're open to learning about aviation, this an obscenely impressive package, with a seemingly never-ending array of activities to engage with. Digital tourists will adore its attention to detail, while aviation obsessives will simply get a kick out of sitting in the cockpits of their favourite aircraft.

Agreement—

A visually astonishing simulation of real flight in all aspects, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 now accurately recreates the energy-sapping demands of an actual commercial pilot.

Agreement—

It might not have quite the same wow factor second time around, but Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 builds on its astonishing predecessor with intelligence.

Fly higher, further, and faster—if you have the set-up for it.
