Today Microsoft released a trailer of Microsoft Flight Simulator, and it's of the accolades flavor, while one million players took to the sky.

When's it out on Xbox One?

[catlover316]

I don’t think it’s going to happen, but if it does the Xbox one s will be a horrible system to play it on. Series x should be great, and the Xbox one x would probably be ok.

[Imortus_san]

The game streams the textures, it shoud be ok on all xbox.

[catlover316]

@Imortus-san so you think because it loads maps from the web it is somehow easier to run?

[alb1899]

It will be for SX.

[boing1]

Just SX? MS said no 1st party exclusives for SX for at least 2 years.

[alb1899]

But do you know when will it go out?

[waderae]

Subtract a reasonable percentage of that for those that get 30 secs of gameplay before it's quit to desktop bug kicks in. Like me -1 so that's 999,999 players....

Your PC is cursed. Should have gone with nvidia and not a radeon lol. Jk jk

[waderae]

lol if only i really did have a bad pc, i got a rtx2070, ryzen 7, 32 gb ram... its like 4 months old. it should run this in low settings... but no...

11 disagrees... lol people who dont have the issue clearly... or cant be bothered to google the issue and see that its real.

Follow this video, it will fix all types of problems https://www.youtube.com/wat...

I'm sorry you are having issues.
I had issues like that a lot on my PC between the year 2013 and 2016 and it was enough to make me stop PC gaming. I prefer a somewhat guaranteed experience without random issues or BSOD's or time wasted tinkering so I stick with consoles now mostly.

Congrats to the developer on producing such a technical milestone. Would be great to see this sort of tech in mainstream gaming.

Huge congratulations to Asobo Studio on their creation and its success.

[NeoGamer232]

Nice to see a highly rated game getting good support from the gaming community.

Good work Microsoft and Asobo!

[EasilyTheBest]

The crying & playing down in these threads is an embarrassment to gaming.
If your going to cry about just ignore the Microsoft Good news.

While I agree with you, it's not like there isn't a lot of room for interpretation about what these numbers mean since they don't talk about a lot of things like long term engagement.

[Edgelordsupreme]

Or you can just move on with your life and not get so worked up about the semantics of a marketing blurb? Unless they are plain lying to people, I dont really see the need to come in and try to act like it isn't impressive for a Flight Simulator. Its childish, period.

[rainslacker]

Not everyone is worked up. They're just stating what they think about things. And MS does just plain lie to people, or stretch the truth to obfuscate the facts quite often, so maybe that is why people feel like they need to state why they think MS is BS'ing them.

[King_Noctis]

Man the comments on this article (and on the Mario articles for that matter) are embarrassing and childish. Some gamers are so childish and insecure.

[aaronaton]

Why are so many comments being made 'inappropiate' that discuss the sales in a negative way? Why are you censoring just the positive comments? Has this section become an MS safe space?

[King_Noctis]

"Has this section become an MS safe space?"

You are kidding right?
