Last year, a new part of the game Microsoft Flight Simulator (our review), while the novelty won the hearts of gamers and reviewers not only with gameplay but also with a very impressive audiovisual, making it one of the most hardware-intensive games today, but fortunately it will change tomorrow’s update, which will significantly improve performance. It will come with the release of a console version of the game, a summary of which you can see below.

I can only recommend this game, it is a technical benchmark, a mechanically deep and detailed simulator, a great way to escape from the real world and pure joy of playing. Even if flight simulators aren’t your floor, I’m willing to bet you’ll love Microsoft Flight Simulator.

Microsoft Flight Simulator is a real masterpiece on the Xbox console, which can set new standards and set the path for a new generation, despite some flaws. The extraordinarily high level of simulation, excellent technical aspects and the ability to faithfully explore virtually every point on Earth make this new part a must-have for all aviation enthusiasts, but thanks to many aids it can be appreciated by those who have never tried a similar title. You just can’t miss this.

Microsoft Flight Simulator is a kind of miracle that runs on Xbox Series X and S consoles. It is an ambitious game that should only be designed for high-end computers, but Asobo Studio has resisted and created a well-optimized console version that brings a full experience from simulation. If you want an absolutely accurate simulation of airliner control, while it is fully preserved on the Xbox, Flight Simulator is best suited for a keyboard and mouse with a monitor. However, if you prefer to relax and experience the joy of flying anywhere in the world without having to worry about how your hardware can handle such an ambitious title, Flight Simulator on the Xbox Series X and S is a good choice.

Microsoft Flight Simulator appears in great form on the Xbox, which, despite several shortcomings and a painful user interface, brings the same magical simulation experience that PC users enjoyed last year, thanks to a great (but not perfect) adaptation of the main drives to the driver and the same additional content provided by Asobo Studio on a PC in recent months.

Microsoft Flight Simulator continues to amaze even on the Xbox console. Thanks to him, photorealism appeared on the consoles. But most importantly – this experience will be very accessible to novices in the field of simulators.

The Gamer
Microsoft Flight Simulator deserves to be played – but it shouldn’t be considered necessary. It’s a unique experience that won’t captivate everyone in the same way, but if you have the opportunity, be sure to try it out – find your house, parents or partner or your favorite holiday destination and just fly there. The world looks completely different from thousands of meters in the air, and Microsoft Flight Simulator is so far one of the few ways to get this irresistible view.
