[Aronus]

Four years after its triumphant revival, the ultimate aircraft simulation series returns with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. The painstakingly realistic aviation title puts you behind the stick of more than 65 aircraft and lets you take off from more than 50 handcrafted airports. So, are you ready to cruise the skies on Nov. 19? Check out the game's minimum and recommended system specs to see if your gaming PC can take you airborne.

Why the Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 Hype?
The Microsoft Flight Simulator series has taught gamers how to fly since 1982. However, it saw a big boost with the critically acclaimed Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. The beautiful visuals, real-world weather data, and gameplay that reflects actual aeronautics made it the perfect escape during the Covid-19 lockdowns, much like Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 looks to build on that success. This next-gen installment introduces new missions, aircraft, league challenges, photo challenges, and environmental features like animal migr

ation and tornadoes. DLC from the previous game also carries over in an extremely consumer-friendly move.

Where Can You Play Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024?
Microsoft is in the game's title, so it's no surprise that Flight Simulator 2024 is launching on PC and Xbox Series X/S. The game lands on Nov. 19, and you can add the $69.99 game to your Steam Wishlist right now. Several premium versions add more planes and airports, up to the $199.99 Aviator Edition. Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 hits Xbox Game Pass on release day like many other Xbox games.
