Over the past handful of months, Microsoft Flight Simulator has continued to stretch its wings far – especially thanks to the Xbox Series launch previously. In November, the series celebrated its 40th anniversary with a special edition that arrived for the latest installment. Additionally, the new release also welcomed an update for Canada as well then.
Furthermore, Microsoft Flight Simulator also entertained more than 10 million players, Microsoft announced. Of course, Xbox Game Pass is a big player for this milestone as millions across PC as well as console took to the airs. By February this past winter, New Zealand got some attention in the World Update XII patchwork also.
