Today marks the official release for Asobo Studio’s Microsoft Flight Simulator. It was learned earlier this week that the plane-flying title has been ranked one of the most positively received releases on PC for this year – following just behind Valve’s Half-Life: Alyx. Only available on PC currently, fans on Xbox are interested as to when they can expect the title to arrive to console.
Microsoft during the initial announcement for Microsoft Flight Simulator in E3 2019 listed the game for both Xbox One and PC at the time. However, no details regarding the console version for the title has been expanded upon. Even with the game’s arrival for PC, there is still no determined timeframe or release window suggesting the version is still on the way.
But, despite no signs of the console version on the surface, users online discovered what looks to be evidence for Microsoft Flight Simulator for retail systems. In that, reddit poster Arn_Skr shared listings for the game on the Microsoft Store for console. You can view the listing in the image below:
Shortly after the finding, Microsoft looks to have retracted the listing as only PC is the only platform posted on the page. But with this new finding, fans suspect that perhaps an announcement or even an update for the game will be taking place fairly soon. Howbeit, it does draw the question as to how the game will perform on base Xbox One, more so, if the version should even be pursued or made unique to Xbox Series X.
Furthermore, the listing also pointing towards Xbox Series X which does conjure up some questions. That being since Microsoft has yet to properly announce Microsoft Flight Simulator for the next-generation console. But seeing that the approaching hardware does seem to align more with the requirements for the title, it is surprising the version has yet to be officially disclosed.
