Once upon a time, Xbox and Sony seemed to be duking it out over who could put out the best console exclusives. But over the past year, Xbox has been changing up its strategy, pivoting to a multiplatform approach. That means 2025 has seen relatively few new Xbox Series X|S exclusives, including early year releases like Avowed. But as Xbox moves away from emphasizing console exclusives, some games that were once only available on Xbox have been trickling over to PS5. And thanks to a new report, we might have intel on the next former exclusive making the jump.

PS5 gamers have gotten our hands on a few former Xbox console exclusives this year, including Helldivers 2 and Gears of War: Reloaded. This is addition to a few new PlayStation exclusives, making it a pretty solid year for PS5 owners. And according to a new rumor, another big Microsoft game might be making its way to PS5 this November – Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.
New Rumor Doubles Down on Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 For PS5
The Microsoft Flight Simulator series is a longstanding tradition hailing back to the 1980s. It lets gamers fly all manners of aircrafts through a variety of settings, and with the improved graphics, more recent editions really immerse you in the pilot seat. As a Microsoft series, the Flight Simulator games have only ever been available on PC and Xbox consoles. But rumors have been circling a PS5 release of the latest game, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, for a while.
Earlier this year, leaker Nate The Hate suggested we’d be getting a PS5 port of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 sometime this year. He didn’t have a specific date in mind at the time, so the intel was pretty vague. That said, Nate the Hate has one of the better track records out there for reliable info, so his remarks about the port being in progress could be good news for Flight Simulator fans.
Now, a Polish website is reporting that Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is aiming for a November 2025 release on PS5. The site also suggests there will be limited physical copies available, along with speculation about that long-awaited physical release of Oblivion Remastered.
According to ppe, this info about the next Microsoft exclusive headed to PS5 comes from an insider called Graczdari. This same source leaked the release of Gears of War Reloaded on PS5, so the track record there is pretty solid. Even so, this remains a rumor until it’s officially announced by Microsoft, so keep that in mind before you buy a flight suit for your PS5.
No specific release date or pricing information was included in this latest rumor about Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 on PS5. The game released for PC and Xbox Series X|S on November 19th. So, a PS5 port somewhere around the one-year mark would make sense, as many timed console exclusives wind down after about a year. On PC and Xbox, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is priced at $69.99, so the rumored PS5 port would likely be around the same price.
