Microsoft Flight Simulator has no PS4 release. See where MSFS 2020 and 2024 run, what streaming can do, and which supported platform to choose.
No. Microsoft Flight Simulator is not available on PS4, and no edition has ever received a native PS4 release. Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 runs on Windows PC and Xbox Series X|S; Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 also supports PS5 and PS5 Pro, but neither version can be installed on PS4.
Which Microsoft Flight Simulator versions work on PS4?
None of them work on PS4. Microsoft and Asobo never produced a PS4 build of MSFS 2020 or MSFS 2024, so this cannot be fixed with extra storage, an external drive, a different account region or a console setting.
| Edition | PS4 support | Supported platforms |
|---|---|---|
| Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 | No | Windows PC and Xbox Series X|S |
| Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 | No | Windows PC, Xbox Series X|S, PS5 and PS5 Pro |
MSFS 2024 launched on PS5 and PS5 Pro on 8 December 2025. There is still no PS4 disc, PlayStation Store download or PS4 licence. Listings marked Game of the Year Edition or 40th Anniversary Edition remain versions of MSFS 2020 for its supported platforms; those labels do not add PlayStation compatibility.
Can you play Microsoft Flight Simulator on PS4 by streaming?
Streaming does not make MSFS 2020 or 2024 a PS4 game. There is no officially supported cloud or Remote Play route that turns PS4 into an MSFS 2020 client: PlayStation Remote Play needs a compatible PlayStation release, while PS4 has no supported Xbox cloud-gaming client.
If a PS5 Remote Play session displays MSFS 2024 on a PS4, the PS5 is still running the simulator. You need the PS5 console and PS5 edition, performance depends on the network connection, and specialist USB yokes or throttles should not be assumed to work through Remote Play. A Windows or Xbox licence does not grant a PlayStation copy.
Original PlayStation VR does not add PS4 compatibility. MSFS 2024 support for PSVR2 is tied to PS5 and PSVR2 through a free 2026 update, not PS4 or the original PSVR headset.
Which platform should a PS4 owner choose instead?
PS4 owners must move to supported hardware, with the best choice depending on the version, controls and add-ons they want.
- PS5 or PS5 Pro: choose this to stay with PlayStation and run MSFS 2024. Check peripheral compatibility first because PC and Xbox flight controls are not automatically compatible; our comparison of MSFS 2024 on PS5 and Xbox covers the main console differences.
- Xbox Series X|S: choose Xbox for native console access to MSFS 2020 or MSFS 2024.
- Windows PC: choose PC for the broadest selection of flight controls and add-ons, provided the computer meets the simulator's requirements. Our Xbox-versus-PC guidance explains the practical trade-offs.
Will Microsoft Flight Simulator come to PS4?
No PS4 edition has been announced. MSFS 2020 skipped PlayStation entirely, while MSFS 2024 targets newer console hardware, so PS4 should be treated as unsupported rather than as a platform awaiting a port.
