The recent launch of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 on PlayStation 5 marks a significant shift in the gaming landscape, as Jorg Neumann, the head of Microsoft Flight Simulator, revealed that the idea to bring the game to PS5 was his own. This strategic move is believed to have sparked a wave of Xbox titles making their way to Sony’s console, changing the dynamics of cross-platform gaming. Neumann’s vision for a PS5 version came after a major overhaul of the game’s file size, which allowed for cloud streaming.
