Microsoft Flight Simulator is coming to Xbox Series X/S in summer 2021

Microsoft Flight Simulator is finally jumping the digital pond from PC to consoles. Microsoft and developer Asobo confirmed the port is coming in summer of 2021 during The Game Awards today. This means a new audience will get a chance to experience its realistic flight models and lifelike replication of Earth on Xbox Series X and S.

In the leadup to The Game Awards, I spoke with Microsoft Flight Simulator director Jorg Neumann about the port. Neumann and his team are excited about Flight Simulator on console specifically because it’s a new audience. And so they’re treating this as a serious opportunity to grow the fanbase for aviation simulations.
