Jul 31, 2021A port so good for consoles than you would have to consider trying it even if you are not specially interested on flight simulators. [Recommended]

Jul 26, 2021MSFS's beauty makes it must-play on Xbox Series X, even if only for a one-month free Xbox Game Pass trial. But while its console port is a technological triumph, it might still be too boring for a lot of players. Series S players should temper expectations with a bit less beauty.

Jul 26, 2021Some fiddliness with controls and interface can't hold back Asobo's phenomenal creation from shining in its new context. [Eurogamer Essential]

Jul 26, 2021This is a simulation, and very much not a game, but it’s also the most graphically impressive console experience ever seen and one of the best adverts for Xbox Game Pass so far.

Jul 26, 2021If anything, the Xbox version can feel a little too close to the PC version at times, with an occasionally clunky cursor-driven interface. It’s a little conspicuous to have a graphic settings menu where the only option is to turn HDR on and off, for example. But it’s better to leave too much in than to cut too much out: what matters is that the flying experience is as good as it could be given the hardware on hand. From what I’ve played of Microsoft Flight Simulator on the Xbox Series X, I don’t feel like Asobo has left much on the table. It’s still an incredible technical achievement, and one well worth checking out when it hits Game Pass tomorrow.

Jul 29, 2021The console adaptation of Microsoft Flight Simulator is as good as it could be. Few concessions were observed to make it run on Xbox Series. Obviously, some of the interfaces are quite difficult to apprehend with a controller, but one has to acknowledge that it would’ve been difficult to do otherwise even if we still secretly hope that a few updates will enhance that aspect. As it is, the game is an exceptional experience of fullness for whoever enjoys watching gorgeous sceneries while the others can train and hone their piloting skills with a controller or with other devices. As it is included in the Xbox Game Pass, you simply have to try it at least once to discover the amazing features of this flight simulator.
