Microsoft Flight Simulator Might Be The Next Xbox Game Coming to PS5

wccftech.com:

Once again, rumors have begun swirling about the next Xbox first-party game to be ported to PlayStation 5, and it might be one of the most iconic (albeit niche): Microsoft Flight Simulator.

Yesterday, leaker extas1s suggested it would be Forza Horizon 5. However, an earlier leak from January had mentioned Microsoft Flight Simulator, and it was right about everything it shared at the time.

Xbox will probably announce its multiplatform plans late next month or right before the fiscal year ends. ID Software's next game is no longer an Xbox exclusive and will be multiplatform. Bethesda's next few games that were exclusive have also been pushed to be multiplatform instead.

Microsoft Flight Simulator will be multiplatform, and a few other older 1st party games are also going to be multiplatform. Indiana Jones is a little weird cause he's modeled after Harrison Ford to the full extent but being voiced by Troy Baker. Most of the game is also 1st person, including whip combat. And Hideo Kojima is finally making a movie.

DOOM: The Dark Ages turned out to be multiplatform, and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is a first-person game (except for rare instances during environmental interaction) with Harrison Ford's likeness and Troy Baker's voiceover. A few days after the leak, PlayStation also announced a partnership with Hideo Kojima on a new stealth IP called Physint, which will include the production of a game and a movie.

If the leaker is right about Microsoft Flight Simulator, too, the question then becomes whether the 'old' 2020 game would be ported or the new installment that is slated to launch on November 19. This new entry features several new mission types, new aircraft types, more environmental features (snow and tornadoes), a full-fledged season system, improved physics, better performance with multithreading, and even the ability to step out of the plane and walk
