In a Microsoft Flight Simulator’s monthly Developer Stream, Asobo Studio revealed that it could finally release support for PSVR 2 as early as this week.

The studio announced last month its ‘Sim 5’ update was coming in April, which is set to bring PSVR 2 support to the PS5 version of the game alongside a number of other improvements, although it wasn’t clear exactly when the update was planned to release.

Now, in the studio’s April 2026 Developer Stream, Asobo confirmed the game has now passed Sony certification, and is “down to three must-fix bugs or something” Head of Microsoft Flight Simulator Jorg Neumann says.

The studio isn’t ready to say just when it plans to launch the update, although Neumann says they’re “super close.”

“It has a little bit to do with trying to get the final career specialization going, and
it’s like one or two more bugs, and that’s it. So, we’re we’re hoping that it’s next week,” Neumann said in last week’s broadcast.

Microsoft and Asobo previously confirmed that the PSVR 2 version of the game will support its 125 different aircraft, which includes Sense controller-supported cockpits for increased immersion.

The studios also spoke a bit about their 2026 roadmap, which includes a number of planned updates throughout 2026, which will focus on avionics, new aircraft, as well as a variety of World and City updates.

    PSVR2 + MSFS2024 Is really an incredible beautiful touristic experience.

  • STL

    Sold PSVR2 two years ago and bought a Quest 3 instead. Never looked back. Now, first time a little bit…

    • Leisure Suit Barry

      It's looks terrible on PSVR2, you're not missing out on anything

      • STL

        Thank you for letting me know!

  • Belaam

    It's up now if you download the beta version.

  • NL_VR

    a great addition to the PSVR2 library.
    i hope they get the visuals and performance in place, its a little bit rough. But still good game

    • Leisure Suit Barry

      It's not even a game, as per Microsoft themselves

      And it looks terrible on PSVR2

      • NL_VR

        Yes im sorry its not anything like Horizon Worlds free2play games or Roblox like you seem to want.

        • Leisure Suit Barry

          I’ve given you my PSN ID before, so where did you get that I play those terrible games?

          • NL_VR

            Because its only such news that seem to draw your attention and yourr complain, The shutdown of Free2play and live service crap. You have no focus on actual good vr games.

          • Leisure Suit Barry

            What good VR games?

            The only good VR games these days are flat games using a VR mod

            What recent purpose built VR games are so amazing that sales of VR headsets have died because people are so stupid then didn’t realise such amazing VR games released?

          • NL_VR

            April has had several releases and updates to shooters for example.
            Forefront, Into the radius 2, Wrath, Exfilzone (wipe), etc.
            Yes and mods keep getting updates and released which i also call in the category.

  • ShapeshifteR

    It's already great on my PS5 Pro, but a reminder that it's mostly streamed data so a wired, fast internet connection is a must

  • Aj lobitaña

    Best pilot

  • NL_VR

    What has it to do with anything.
    Your personal opinion. We know VR games arent your thing after several discussion posts.
    Those studios are alive and kickin. But that doesnt interest you, you only attracted to news about canceled free2play and live serivce games.
    Not a real vr gamer, a real vr naysayer

    • Leisure Suit Barry

      Survios seems to of now been shut down

      bu bu but the VR industry has never been better right??

      • NL_VR

        Thry did an half assed alien game and got punished for it.
        Probably got extra outside investment for it and when they didnt profit they went down. And they even made a flatscreen version of the game.
        Bu bu but the gaming industry has never been better right?

        • Leisure Suit Barry

          VR gaming is all but dead (outside of flat screen mods)

          I’ve made my peace with it, and I’ve played more VR than you over the years

          I think you need to make your peace with it too, it clearly damaging you

          • NL_VR

            Im not damaging.
            Its verry confusing how you looknat VR.
            VR is dead except flatscreen vr mods? Duh then what is VR gaming? Would you be able to use VR mods or would there be any modders or a whole big ass VR modding community if VR was dead?
            You seem to look at VR as a “Playstation” but thats only somewhat comparable if you use Quest, Pico or something similar standalone 100% (and even then its more open than a traditional console).
            Its the wrong way to look at things.
            VR is more broad than that, you simply can’t say its dead amd then except modding.
            Its either dead or alive.
            Shitty VR devs go down as do shitty flatscreen devs.
            Good devs still kickin both VR and flatscreen.
            You claim you have played more but you are a playstation and it doesnt count you were always at you own little special corner.
            Im pretty sure i play alot more VR than you because if im gonna “waste time” on gaming i choose tondo it in VR.

          • Leisure Suit Barry

            VR GAMING specifically is dead

            And I doubt you spend more time in VR than me, or at least what I use to. Over 300 hours in Skyrim VR with the platinum. Platinumed Driveclub VR, Wipeout, Dirt Rally and a ton others. 250 hours is Dirt Rally VR alone

            I’ve played 351 hours on GT7 in VR since December 16th, that works out to 18 hours every week, just in 1 VR game alone

          • Leisure Suit Barry

            BTW, I get no joy in say VR gaming is dead, it’s just the way it is

            I get some joy in PSVR2 being dead though, the amount of PSVR fanboys defending the launch price, saying its worth the price as Quest Pro costs double, and them saying they will sell 2M units at launch, I’ve never seen so many delusional people

          • NL_VR

            Well you are wrong and kinda the same delusional you claim "PSVR2 Fanboys" are.
            You have to claim and try to convince over and over the same faulty vr is dead thing.
            i guess tou been dling it for a couple of years now and simply keep hitting your head to the wall hoping it one day it will be true.
            a 100% vr naysayer.
            you simply cant accept people having fun when playstation in general have the worst gaming generation in general. And it will grt worse. Playstation 6 wil br a powerful machine but the games will be even lesser and worse.

          • Leisure Suit Barry

            You’re the one doing the coping, not me

            You’re the one who has to convince yourself that VR gaming is in a great place

  • Leisure Suit Barry

    I’m using VR most days too

    Some people play on a Dreamcast most days, PS4, any other hardware that is also dead but still has playable games

    • NL_VR

      Yes your definition VR is dead but it isnt here again. You need to decide. You play a little GT7 in VR now and then proves its not dead :D
      What about all VR-studios still having games running multiplayer? VR-Studios still announcing ang releasing games? New hardware releasing? You just look at examples when studios lay off people or shut down and define the whole industry as dead. You can predict it will die but that you people have done in many years already.
      Why Dreamcast and PS4 are “dead” its because thats what happens to all console ecosystem as the whole point is (or was) that it will die and be replaced with new hardware. VR is not a console. VR gaming industry is not run by AAA companies releasing games and has never been.

      • Leisure Suit Barry

        Can you name me some high profile PCVR games coming out this year, high profile as in AA/AAA

        • NL_VR

          No I can’t , i play and get games as they come. I dont even remeber what is coming next week.
          Flatout 4 VR is the latest game i jave bought and really enjoy and it seems to be a hit by many even its an early access release.
          PC gaming dont depend on any “first party releases” like consoles.
          PC gaming been counted out as dying several times during the last 20 years

          • Leisure Suit Barry

            So no AA/AAA VR games coming out this year that have been announced?

            Yeah, dead as a dodo

          • NL_VR

            PC gaming doesnt rely on AAA nor does VR.
            Can you guve some exa ples of games that should be released then to not coubt as dead

          • Leisure Suit Barry

            No AA/AAA VR games announced for this year you say, (if there was you’d of named them)

            VR gaming is cooked!

          • NL_VR

            Thats just something you made up in your own mind. Probably wishful thinking.
