Microsoft Flight Simulator “Will be Just as Amazing on Xbox One as it is on PC,” Says Developer

“Some things might even be better,” says Jorg Neumann, head of Microsoft Flight Simulator.

nahh no way

[Eonjay]

It all depends on which PC they are referring to.

[Unspoken]

Can we have VR for PC please?

[1Victor]

I hope it more amazing than halo Jk
I hope they can make this game the flag ship that shows the power of series X

[zarbor]

Agreed. This is why I hate to listen to the folks from Microsoft gaming. They really think the average gamers are just stupid.

[patterson]

Best way is PC.
1) Mod support
2) All the choices for peripherals
3) Triple monitors

Combine all that and it’s amazing.

Why are people down voting this? Filthy Peasants.

[Italiano1234567]

Lol no it wont. Mist people cant even get it to run properly on their pc unless they got top tier shit

[Psychotica]

I doubt it, nice sales pitch try though..

[GoodGuy09]

Right...

"Some things might even be better"
How? How are some things going to be better on xbox one? This is further proof Microsoft really thinks that xbox only gamers are among the most ignorant critters on the planet. If not, why say something so absurd? This guy really thinks xbox only gamers are dumb enough to keep falling for this type of bullspit. Maybe they are.

[MadLad]

Calm down, champ.
While a MS release, this is a 3rd party developer who normally releases games for multiplatform. At the end of the day, this didn't come from the lips of MS, and is just a dev doing their PR rounds, hyping up the console version coming after the PC version is, now, already out.

It's obviously still going to run best on higher end PC hardware.

[NeoGamer232]

To begin with he is not a developer. He is head of Flight Simulator.

[WhiteHawk]

Ha, that’s funny, anyone who knows anything about these types of flight sims especially the previous versions in this series over decades knows that isn’t going to be the case, only ignorant fanboys who don’t know the industry that supports it would be blind enough to think that, and from the downvotes people are getting on their comments and surely what will be on mine As well there’s plenty of them lurking in here. This is marketing, not the truth, there’s already proof in a load of mods to back that up that won’t be on console, and that’s just one of a number of aspects that it will either be lesser or none existent on the XBOX version.

[jeromeface]

starting to see why mfs is dx11... can't have it performing too much better on pc

Their statement is about as accurate as their described system requirements:

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 Recommended Requirements
CPU: Intel Core i5-8400 or AMD Ryzen 5 1500X or better
RAM: 16 GB
OS: Windows 10 64-bit
VIDEO CARD: Radeon RX 590 or GeForce GTX 970

a 970 trying to run this game, ya ok.. lmao

Then we have ideal specs. which seems more accurate but i still wouldn't call it "ideal" given it won't hit 60fps, with them listing 32GB RAM, 8GB VRAM and a Radeon VII or 2080 GPU and 2700x or 9800x CPU.
