The fast approaching Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is landing on PC and Xbox consoles November 19th. While it wasn’t clear at its initial unveiling last summer whether Asobo’s next-gen flight sim would include VR support, the studio says it’s definitely coming, and even showed it off in action.
Asobo confirmed in a developer Q&A earlier this year that VR support was indeed coming, and that, in Executive Producer Martial Bossard’s words, it would be “spectacular.”
And while you still won’t find mention of VR support buried anywhere in the marketing material, the studio showed off VR support in action during the MFS 2024 Preview event, letting press and creators fly around using a Pimax Crystal Light headset.
MFS has been pretty consistently getting better over the years. I’ll probably get this one at some point even if i’m not that into flight sims since it’s just fun to fly around where i live and visit other places in the world.
It is refreshing to see improvement and continued support of VR.
Frustrating to see MS add VR support to their own titles while simultaneously killing WMR and all associated devices. Sure, VR in MFS24 sounds great, but it’s a bit of a slap in the face for the people whose WMR devices will turn into e-waste later this year.
