October 9, 2025Oct 9 Jorg said in the October 8th Q&A there will be no crossplay with PS5 and not cross marketplace purchases. Which I'm not surprised when they said you don't need a microsoft account to use it. No third party Marketplace addons at launch. Edited October 9, 2025Oct 9 by Tuskin38

October 9, 2025Oct 9 I tried out the beta on my PS 5 non-pro. It worked pretty well, but navigating all the menus and functions with the controller will take some learning. I don't plan to make that my primary system, but it will be nice to be able to show the kids something on the big TV or whatever. It was quite smooth and the graphics seemed fine (though not as good as my monster desktop PC). 9800X3d, 4090, 64 GB DDR5 6000 RAM, 4 TB NVME (2x2), 4K Ultra + Framegen

The PS5 has two graphics APIs, GNM (lower-level) and GNMX (higher-level). These are broadly comparable to Direct3D 12 and Direct 3D 11, respectively. The PS5 also has its own shader language called PSSL, but this is very similar to Microsoft's HLSL. So they do have to rewrite the layer of the graphics engine that interfaces with the graphics API, but this is true of every cross-platform game. Keep in mind also that Asobo already has a PS5 game on the market (A Plague Tale: Requiem), so they have existing expertise and code to build on.
October 10, 2025Oct 10 Just hope the servers can cope. Whatever they put MSFS on i just don't care as long as it doesn't affect my experience. Hopefully this won't impact the PC development either. On a sidenote, it doesn't look horrible. Bad but not horrible.

Massive pop ins, black elevation mismatch polygons everywhere, ridiculous LOD/draw distance.

October 10, 2025Oct 10 It looks perfectly fine and even really good. The console platform has limitations and can never match a $3000+ PC, that’s just obvious. try and build a PC that can play MSFS at 4K and match the PS5’s visuals for the cost of a PS5. I bought my non-pro for ~$600 five years ago. You think a PC that you built for $600 five years ago can do this today? Or even a PC that you build today for $700 … My GPU alone is worth 3 PS5s.. of course it will be better. It better be better or else I’m selling my PC and just switching to PS5 lol.

A PC does also many other things. Most people need a PC anyway, you have both for example. To be fair you have to compare the price/performance of a PS5 with that of a 700$ gaming GPU, not with the price of a whole PC.

A more accurate comparison would be a $700 Gaming PC. If you already have an office machine or laptop it may not/probably doesn't have the minimum specs so what would the price of a PS5 get you in terms of a gaming rig? nada.

October 10, 2025Oct 10 My only concern is how much work/resources are going to be available supporting 3 platforms (PC, XBOX, PS5) ... my guess is updates and bug fixes will start to take longer unless resources (developers) are increased to support the extra work load. I know someone mentioned the code base is very similar, but being a software engineer, I've hear that before and have always ended researching nuances of various platforms (be it browsers or mobile) ... there is always something that takes time away from progress when going multi-platform. But it's great to see the potential for more MSFS users, but I have a feeling updates/fixes deployments are going to slow down and our want lists will take longer or items get dropped. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. - Carl Sagan
