PlayStation Fans React: Flight Simulator 2025 Called Shovelware

Recently, excitement among fans of Microsoft Flight Simulator was dampened when a PlayStation Store page for "Flight Simulator 2025" turned out to be nothing more than a copycat shovelware title developed by Grizzly Games Limited. Many fans celebrated the potential port initially rumored due to trophy leaks, but further investigation revealed that the game was not affiliated with the original Microsoft Flight Simulator. The problematic page describes an experience claiming to offer ultra-realistic flight dynamics and stunning visuals, yet has drawn heavy criticism for its poor quality and unoriginal art, hinting at AI generation. Despite requests to remove shovelware from the store, such titles continue to proliferate, complicating the gaming landscape and disappointing genuine enthusiasts.

No, the Flight Simulator 2025 listed on the PlayStation Store is a low-quality imitation and not affiliated with the original series or Microsoft.

Microsoft Flight Simulator is a highly acclaimed flight simulation series known for its realism and attention to detail. The latest installment, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, has captivated players on Xbox and PC. The franchise has set new standards in aviation simulation, making even a rumored port to PlayStation an anticipated event for flight enthusiasts. However, the current title on the PlayStation Store has raised concerns about the proliferation of low-quality games masquerading as legitimate entries in beloved franchises.
