Coming off the back of the successful MSFS2024 World Preview event — where MSFS2024 was demonstrated to worldwide media & content creators with the Pimax Crystal Light — Microsoft has now chosen Pimax as their official peripheral partner for Virtual Reality headsets.
Microsoft in their announcement, writes: "We have an incredible, dedicated VR fanbase in our community, and we know how important the right headset is when flying! The Pimax Crystal Light is a great PCVR headset for flight simmers who crave stunning clarity and deep immersion and a fantastic choice to experience Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 in stunning detail." This is following the news that Virtual Reality in MSFS2024 will receive the full support from Microsoft and Asobo, meaning that MSFS2024 comes with improved performance for VR. Additionally, VR is confirmed to be working from day one of the simulator, which goes live on 19 November 2024.
Robin Weng, founder of Pimax: "Many of our users use our VR headsets for flight or racing sims, because the specs really let you experience these hyper-realistic sims in the best possible way. The Crystal Light has 2880 x 2880 resolution at 120 Hz and because of the DisplayPort cable, there is no visual compression or color banding. Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 looks increasbly realistic and with this partnership we really see both our products work together flawlessly. It's a huge honor for us to be affiliated with MSFS and it also feels like a reward for all the hard work we've done over the past few year."
Jose Rentas, better known as 'The VRPilot', tested the Crystal Light at the media event as well as at home, says: "This happened because at the World Preview event in Arizona, the MSFS team used the Pimax Crystal and the response from the community meant they choose Pimax as their official partner."
With the upcoming launch, Pimax stands ready to help users find the perfect graphic settings for their PC.
