Aces of Thunder Latest News

 ⚫︎ Aces of Thunder was released on Feburary 3, 2026 on Steam and PS5. The developers promised non-VR support for the game coming shortly after release.

Aces of Thunder Overview

Aces of Thunder is a VR air combat simulator developed by Gaijin Entertainment, the developers behind the free-to-play vehicular combat title War Thunder. The game is focused on dogfights using historically inspired military aircraft. Players pilot detailed fighter planes from inside fully modeled cockpits, engaging in aerial battles across large combat zones.

The game is built specifically for VR and emphasizes situational awareness, aircraft handling, and cockpit interaction. Its design combines realistic flight behavior with streamlined controls, allowing players to focus on flying and combat without complex simulation systems.

Aces of Thunder Gameplay

Players control a single fighter aircraft from a first-person cockpit view, using a combination of head tracking, motion controls, and traditional inputs to fly, aim, and engage targets. Combat is built around real-time maneuvering, where speed, altitude, and turning angles directly affect how aircraft handle in a fight.

Weapons must be manually aimed using the aircraft’s sights and cockpit instruments, with no external camera views or arcade-style targeting aids. Success depends on maintaining visual contact with enemies, managing your aircraft’s performance, and choosing when to engage, evade, or pursue.
