Over 2 Million People Have Played Microsoft Flight Simulator

When Xbox Game Studios finally made a decision to bring
Microsoft Flight Simulator back, they spared no expenses to make it a stand-out game.
Microsoft shared a few other numbers that help explain the game s success: Gamers have flown over 50 million virtual flights in the game since the launch, racking up over 3.5 billion virtual miles, the equivalent of 19 round trip flights from the earth to the sun. The modding community has also gotten involved, developing over 500 airports, aircrafts and other add-ons in the months following launch. The quality of work, knowledge and passion on display from creators is an inspiration to our team every day.

Microsoft Flight Simulator Bali Airport Add-On Announced by Aerosoft; Coming in 2021
Microsoft Flight Simulator Bali Airport Add-On Announced by Aerosoft; Coming in 2021

While Microsoft Flight Simulator is getting new airport add-on at a breathtaking pace, most of them are in North America and Europe.
Aerosoft just announced the upcoming release of I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport (WADD) in Bali, which is certainly a nice break from western countries as we head toward a more exotic destination.
It’s the second-busiest international airport in Indonesia and it’s known for its stunning terminal built to resemble traditional Balinese architecture.

The Lite version, which is handheld only, has recently been bundled with Animal Crossing: New Horizons (for £239.99), an irresistible homesteading game that became a relaxing res-torative for millions in 2020.
Or, considerably cheaper but still plenty of fun, Nintendo has also released an updated version of early-Eighties console the Game & Watch (£44.99) to celebrate the 35th birthday of that bouncy plumber Mario.
With its gold and red face, this small device is both handsome and Christmassy and feels just right for the two included Super Mario Bros games.
Outside of consoles, Microsoft s Xbox Game Pass might just be the best deal in gaming. There are various and I m afraid I have to use this word tiers, with the Ultimate version amounting to £10.99 a month and affording Netflix-style access to dozens of games on both PC and Xbox (including on the last generation s models).
Microsoft Flight Simulator is Fastest Growing in Franchise s History
Over 3.5 billion miles have been flown in the game in just a few months.
Microsoft Flight Simulator launched to incredibly high flying reviews back in August. The aviation sim hit the PC and quickly had the biggest launch of any Xbox Game Pass for PC title, soaring to over a million unique players in under two weeks. Now, following that, the game’s developers Asobo Studios have shared another historic milestone that the long-running franchise has hit.
In the series’ 35 year history, 2020’s edition of Microsoft Flight Simulator became the fastest title to break over two million unique pilots.
