Overview
Microsoft Flight Simulator is a flight simulator developed by Asobo Studio and released digitally by Xbox Game Studios for the PC on August 18, 2020. It was also released in retail form in Europe by Aerosoft and will receive an Xbox One version at some point.
A same-name reboot of the series, Microsoft Flight Simulator returns to its simulation roots (after the smaller-scale Microsoft Flight) and features high-definition locales (with optional real-time weather and day/night cycles), over 20 different aircraft (all of which have highly-detailed and accurate cockpits and instrumentation), and over 30 handcrafted international airports.
