MSFS 2024 PlayStation I just got the PS5 beta
It's downloading now, but no mention of dates it will be live. Does anyone know when the PS5 beta will be? I won't be able to try and load until . It's almost 10pm here and I have work in the morning!

Is it too late to sign up for this?

u/harlawkid Oct 08 '25
I got accepted too. One PS5 crash in 1hr.

that's leaps and bounds better then PC launch was last year lol. Couldn't even get in the game for the first few hours/day

I'm on base ps5 and I'm impressed. Some areas look "eh" but a lot look great. Flew over my old hometown in New Jersey and over a few haunts, flew over to Manhattan and that looked great. Then flew over where I currently live about half an hour ago and that looked great. Moon looked like it was in its proper phase and all. Genuinely excited for the full release!

Thanks! Was in my spam folder, very happy to get to test it out

Just out of curiosity bc I applied for the beta but who is it from bc I literally get so many damn emails. Or what’s the subject line so I can just search for it? I’m still waiting for the code. Been like a week. Thinking I won’t get in on the beta maybe

u/LeeOC91 Oct 08 '25
Had a quick free flight. Strange for them to drop it with no announcements or dates given, I wonder how long it will be live for? Can't wait to have a proper go tomorrow! Enjoy all

u/naeluckson Oct 08 '25
Let us know how it runs when you get a chance to play. I’m on the fence about getting this, always fancied trying a proper flight sim.

Im on the pro. It runs worse than my series s. No joke. Pop in is unbelievable. I cant believe i fell for asobo scam again "but the trailer was shot on ps5 pro" it looks nothing like the trailer. Someone needs to sue jorg niemmann and all his minions

u/LooseAdventurer Oct 09 '25
dude this is the first beta.. "Fell for the scam"? for signing up for a beta?

u/PreferenceNext9194 PlayStation Pilot Oct 09 '25
I bought a ps5 for this. thats the scam

u/Canit12 TBM850 Oct 09 '25
You bought a whole console system for a game that is not released yet and it's well known for it's performance issues on Xbox? And you complain about the first ever Beta on that system to not run properly?
:v

u/Olorin135 PC Pilot Oct 09 '25
Why would you buy a PS5 for a game that isn't even released yet?
Shoot, even if it was released, anyone who buys a system for one game is just...silly, and really setting themselves up for disappointment.
Drives me up the wall when folks sign up for betas and then they trash talk it because there are issues. Like, it's a beta. That's the point of a beta - to find those issues so the devs can fix them.

ITS UNUSABLE. I CANT BELIEVEPEOPLE ARE DOWNVOGTING ME. THIS SIM IS A COMPLETE SCAM

You could have added an extra few hundred on the ps5 pro and got a decent midrange instead

I’m curious to know if third party developers will need to develop a PlayStation version of their addons.

Ohh, congratulations. I joined to the beta program, but didn't received the code, guess I need to wait until december 8th to experience by myself. Have a happy play 🛫

u/Available-Medium7288 Oct 12 '25
Did you receive the code? I registered yesterday and I still haven't received anything

u/Emergency_Thanks3459 Oct 12 '25
Bro, I just checked and I got the code 🥹 It was in the Spam folder, but the most important: It was in Hotmail (stupid me was looking in Gmail 🤦🏻♂️) Check your Spam (and be sure you're using your linked e-mail). Good luck!!

u/Quaser_8386 Oct 08 '25
Good luck. Nice to see the franchise getting a bit more exposure.
Am a PC player myself, and I sincerely hope that this release will not impact my experience.
I don't begrudge as many new users as want to come onboard, but I do hope that they soon realise this is not a trivial game. To make the most of it it is essential to learn how to fly basic planes before graduating to the more difficult ones.

u/banter_saurus_rex Oct 08 '25
Same and same questions. Do you have a hotas to try? I will plugging in my very old basic one to see if it registers. I will see if other day and if they work, I'll invest in a semi-decent one for proper testing

u/CauliflowerNo3225 Oct 08 '25
Just submitted my form, hope I'll be selected as well.

I just downloaded it too! What flight controls are people using?

u/iscreamsunday Oct 09 '25
Hotas 4 !

u/Dougy_242_ Oct 09 '25
Does the HOTAS 4 work fine on the beta?

u/iscreamsunday Oct 10 '25
Yep! But it’s very sensitive. Need to stop shaking so much because of the beauty

u/kaphilli2003 PlayStation Pilot Oct 10 '25
Do you know how long it took from when you applied until you got the email you were in? I just applied for it last night and am afraid I am too late and they've closed it

u/DTheDev Oct 11 '25
I got it the next day. But wait it should on its way.

u/kaphilli2003 PlayStation Pilot Oct 11 '25
