Can we get a release date? I do feel this is being held back on console so PC expansions can make money…hopefully it’s early ‘24 and feature full then. Dying to play this!

If it follows the usual calendar it's probably gonna be between August and November

Abriael324d ago

Incidentally, PC expansions are gonna make money regardless. They're forward compatible and will transfer to the new sim.

Because it's always some number that means nothing.

500,000 miles were driven in this car

10 million rockets were fired in GTA.

With gamepass numbers in means nothing. They are not sales, just ppl trying it out, like a demo.

Flightsim is a sim. It's not a game imo.

LOL.

You seem to have missed the memo that simulators are a genre of games since likely before you were born.

There is a reason why they're making Flight Simulator 2024, and it's that Flight Simulator 2020 was a big success. Games that aren't successful don't get sequels.

I tried it. I think I need a flight stick.

As mainly a PS5 gamer (but with a GPU sub). I was excited and intrigued by MSFS. It turned out to be a fantastic experience and a technical marvel. This and Forza Horizon 5 are still the only games I've played on XSX which is disappointing but at least they've had excellent post-launch support.

I really hope MS acquire Asobo and continue to explore using this tech in other games.

It’s one hell of a passenger jet. The attention to detail is impressive.

Yes, tried Emirates from Heathrow to Dubai. The only plane I managed to get a proper sleep haha. It is loaded with cool technology, like you can see the outside cameras on your inflight entertainment. And despite the 4 engines, it is still very quiet. Incredible!
