Microsoft Flight Simulator

Microsoft Flight Simulator is legitimately incredible. It's difficult to fully describe how amazing it feels to jump into a plane and have the freedom to fly to and from literally any place in the entire world. The base game's 20 included aircraft feel like more than enough for even hardcore aviation enthusiasts, and the ability to adjust the assists to tailor the experience to whatever skill level you desire makes it suitable for anyone looking to fly the friendly skies from the comfort of their home. The real-world mapping data, however, takes Microsoft Flight Simulator from being just an im...

If you’ve ever wanted to fly a plane or are simply fascinated by air travel, Microsoft Flight Simulator is a must-have. But for those with Xbox Game Pass for PC, it’s also worth a download simply for the window to the outside world it delivers. Never been to Egypt and seen the pyramids? It’s not quite the same, but flying over them in Microsoft Flight Simulator will still let you appreciate their grandiosity. Upset that you haven’t been able to go on holiday to your favourite location abroad this year? You can at least visit it in digital form while sipping a nice cocktail. Microsoft Flight Si...

It's hard to understate how incredible having the whole world available feels and the amount of possibility it opens up.  I've been playing for over a week and there are entire continents I haven't looked at yet, and am still only beginning to settle down and focus on an overall gameplay direction.  Is today a good day to investigate tropical storms, flying in the caverns of the clouds?  Maybe try a new aircraft, get to grips with its real-world super-accurate cockpit layout?  For that matter it might be worth spending more time in cockpit view rather than kicking the camera outside the plane ...

Developer Asobo Studio says Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 is a ten-year project with many additions to come. That makes sense, as it's a brilliant base package with so very much to love that I can still see myself returning to for years. For me, the casual, it's a perfect low-stakes, relaxing gaming experience. It's a technical achievement and an excellent training aid, but it's also a brilliant piece of escapism, transcending its purpose as a tool to become something far more widely enjoyable - and I can't recommend it enough.

It was probably a cold day in the winter of 1982 when Microsoft shared with the world its first Flight Simulator. It was a technical demonstration of what a modern CPU could do at the time, future facing it would also highlight where we could go.

The whole planet, one mouse click away, at your own home. The world's greatest metropolises in a next-generation setting, completely realistic and scailed. Flight Simulator 2020 is a prelude to the next generation of games.

Microsoft Flight Simulator is nothing short of revolutionary, featuring an almost impossibly large, authentic and living open world that's bound to take your breath away. Asobo and Xbox Game Studios have delivered a truly special entry in this historic franchise, and it's only going to get better in the years to come.

Microsoft Flight Simulator is an absolute must for flight sim fans, but anyone with the even the slightest bit of an explorer’s nature will be sure to enjoy as well.

Microsoft Flight Simulator is an absolutely amazing return to form for the series and puts the world at your fingertips. One could say that the sky is the limit, but this game's sky doesn't have any limits.

Taking 'open world' very literally.

It's honestly hard to describe how amazing Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 feels as there's so much to unpack, but from what I've experienced so far, I can truly say that this will be a game I'll keep coming back to time and time again. From the impeccably detailed aircraft and the challenges you can participate in, to the unbelievably stunning world and gorgeous weather system, Asobo Studio has lovingly and meticulously crafted something special here that suits players of all levels and abilities. All you need is the love for adventure, the trill for escapism, and the desire to have your mind...
