Release date of Flight Simulator 2024
The anticipation for Flight Simulator 2024 is palpable, with fans eagerly awaiting the official release date. While Microsoft has yet to unveil this critical detail, industry insiders speculate that the game is slated to grace screens sometime in 2024.
Drawing comparisons to the August 2020 release of its predecessor, we might be in for a similar timeframe, but only time will tell.
Platforms for Flight Simulator 2024
As a Microsoft flagship, Flight Simulator 2024 will exclusively be released on PC and Xbox Series X platforms. The game will be available on both Steam and the Xbox app for PC enthusiasts, ensuring a seamless takeoff into the immersive skies.
Now if you are wondering whether Flight Simulator 2024 will be on Xbox Game Pass? You are in for a treat if you are an Xbox Game Pass subscriber. Flight Simulator 2024, being a first-party Microsoft title, will make its grand entrance on day one, offering subscribers an immediate boarding pass to explore the vast digital skies.
Flight Simulator 2024: Just a simulator or an actual game?
We are somewhat sad to say that Flight Simulator 2024 is only a simulator. The 2020 version of this title was released on Xbox Game Pass on day 1. It was perhaps the lockdown that pushed many new players to try out this title.
However, unlike the popular title The Sims, this is not a game for those who want action. This is for those who have a real interest in flying a plane. No fireworks, no guns, not even so much as a drink; just straight flying. If you go from London to New York, nothing but water greets your sight for almost 3500 miles.
This lack of all elements of a story-driven video game, and is perhaps why real pilots sometimes practice on Flight Simulator. Of course, nothing beats the actual experience of being in an airplane, but this is the best they’ve got.
Will Flight Simulator 2024 have a plot?
While Flight Simulator 2024 won’t boast a conventional story or campaign mode, it introduces a diverse array of challenges and scenarios designed to captivate a broader audience. From search and rescue missions to air racing and glider piloting, the game offers a myriad of experiences to keep virtual pilots-cum-gamers engaged.
Many scenarios were showcased in the announcement trailer. By the looks of it, more would be added to the title before its launch. Nevertheless, here is a list of all the challenges and scenarios based on the trailer.
