Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 Will Get a High-Priority Update to Address Stability Issues on Consoles
Microsoft announced on Discord that MSFS 2024 will get an update to address issues with stability and non-functional avionics on PS5 and Xbox. It’ll come before the beta of Sim Update 6 starts and the developers are making this their “highest priority.”
Here’s the full message:
“Since the release of Sim Update 5 last week we have been carefully monitoring player feedback regarding the stability and non-functional avionics issues occurring on Xbox and PlayStation 5 consoles. Asobo is now working on an update to address these issues, and we plan to release it before the start of Sim Update 6 flighting.
The team is treating this issue as our highest priority, and will provide more information as soon as we can. Thank you for your patience.”
