The highly awaited Microsoft Flight Simulator VR Closed Beta will be rolled out shortly, the developers have announced, over two phases.

　　The first one will focus on testing the VR version of the game with Windows Mixed Reality devices, while the second phase is expected to introduce wider support for other VR devices (presumably, SteamVR and Oculus).

　　Our goal for Microsoft Flight Simulator VR is to create an incredible and immersive experience. We are excited to share this with you and look forward to hearing your feedback! We want to continue to make this for our core audience and we can’t think of a better way than to have our core audience help us test. While we wish we could invite everyone unfortunately this won’t be the case. Much like our previous Alpha and Beta phases, we will only allow a select group of testers at any given time. It is important to understand that signing up for the Closed Beta does not mean you will gain access.
