Today is the day! After years of anticipation and several delays, Aces of Thunder has officially launched on PC (Steam) and PlayStation 5 (PS VR2) today, February 3, 2026.

Developed by Gaijin Entertainment—the minds behind War Thunder—this title is built from the ground up to be the definitive VR flight combat simulator. Here is what you need to know about the launch:

What to Expect at Launch

Legendary Aircraft: Access 20+ iconic planes from WWII (like the P-51 Mustang and Spitfire) and WWI (including the Fokker Dr. I) immediately upon purchase.

Total Immersion: The game is designed primarily for VR, featuring highly detailed interactive cockpits where you can physically flip switches and pull levers.

Global Theatres: Battle across 15 maps covering the Eastern, Western, and Pacific fronts.

No Grind: Unlike its predecessor, every aircraft is functionally complete from the start—no “spading” or engine upgrades required.

Note: While the game was built for VR, a “flat screen” update is rolling out to ensure pilots without headsets can still join the dogfight.
