Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 once again allows players to explore the entire planet and even land and disembark anywhere - a giant playground for gamers and, of course, simulation fans. Unfortunately, the launch was hampered by server overload and other technical issues related to the game's cloud infrastructure.
Released in 2020 on PC and 2021 on Xbox Series X|S, Microsoft Flight Simulator was the most successful instalment in Microsoft's longest-running gaming franchise to date. More than 15 million gamers have tried the simulation, which is also included in Xbox Game Pass - many of them probably because of the low barrier to entry. "It took 16 years to get to 5 million users. So there has been an explosion in the flight simulation hobby and it’s because of the community and excitement that everybody’s bringing [to Microsoft Flight Simulator]", said Jorg Neumann, Head of Microsoft Flight Simulator, in Xbox Wire.
