    The best flight sim around. Been playing for years and while I'm no where near a good pilot. I enjoy this game

    This I probably the most graphically impressive game to launch ever. The amount of detail that has gone into crafting the planes is insane and the technology behind the land generation is unreal.

    One of the most breathtaking games I've ever experienced. Being able to fly anywhere on planet Earth... Flying over your hometown and looking down at your house.

    An amazing achievement to bring this to console.

    A full 1:1 recreation of planet earth using real world map date and Azure's AI + cloud computing allows you to fly anywhere in the world.

    An absolute masterpiece.

    Highly recommend ppl to get an flight stick tho, Hotas for $70 work perfectly fine for me and it is so much more fun to play as well.    … Expand

    This game is beautiful. Shows the true power of the series x and surprisingly the series s. The best simulation for flight out there. Amazing graphical showcase with amazing gameplay physics. Owners of gamepass have to try this.

    This is probably one of the most stunning games this year. Amazing work and a game to enjoy while you visit the world. XSX is just on a another level.

    A majestic Port. Even though it May not ressemble What a traditional game usually looks like, this game is so much fun. Looks and feels incredible, specially if you have the proper gear.

    The graphics are great, at least from a far, but the FPS is not so great. Cities look beautiful and lifelike, but that's about it because sadly there's nothing to do besides look at them. It's difficult calling this a game, simulator is definitely fitting.

    Absolutely breath taking game. The graphics are amazing - photo realistic. I am not usually a flight sim fan, but this game is just so completely engrossing that I find myself losing hour after hour in it - and I have only had the game for al little over a day.

    I have had an Xbox Series X and a PS5 since launch, and this is the first game I have seen that deserves the title of next gen.    Absolutely breath taking game.

    Well done Microsoft! After a less than stellar showing last gen you are really pulling out all the stops this one.    … Expand

    MS gutting content to sell as dlc. Hiding behind "community modders" to justify it. (Show me proof they do not make money). The game runs at 1440p on series x and not native 4k as advertised. Just because it on gamepass does not mean "I didn't pay for it".

    Breath taking a true technical achievement for the console port the assessable nature of the game really allows for a large amount of first time player to try the game out with the ability to customised how hard/realistic you experience I can see a new generation of flight simulation enthusiasm

    I've spent countless hours in FSX on my PC, but time goes on so in 2020 my PC was quite outdated and I was sure that it coudn't handle MSFS. I decided to buy xbox series X and despite that I had to wait one year I wasn't disapointed, my old HOTAS worked with it and for the price of just $620 I got ultimate simming experience

    Beautiful. Just Beautiful.

    There is no other game at this level of detail and beauty. This is the most mesmerizing game I have ever played. The immersion into the game is real.

    Truly a technical showcase for the Xbox Series X|S!!

    First of all, it’s amazing what the developers managed to achieve with a game that made even the most expensive PC graphics cards sweat. The landscapes and cities look simply breathtaking on Xbox Series X, and the console doesn’t get red-hot. However, I did encounter some technical issues, like vanishing textures or even a sudden crash back to the main menu. I’m also not a fan of keeping the interface identical to the PC version, because it means sometimes you need to use your controller as a poor substitute for a mouse. [10/2021, p.67]

    The world's most famous flightsim has flown to the Xbox and stuck the landing. Deep gameplay and a diverse offering of planes make for hours upon hours of virtual pilot fun. You'll have to overlook some performance issues, though.

    Microsoft Flight Simulator is not without its faults. The user interface is hardly user-friendly, opting for a simple recreation of the PC version without much thought given to console gaming. The Flight Training tutorials could have some added polish to make them more accommodating to aspiring pilots. And finally, if I’m going to crash, let me crash in style. Give me epic explosions or something to punctuate my failures – not just a simple black screen. If you’re currently an Xbox Game Pass subscriber, then you have no choice at all – download Microsoft Flight Simulator right at this moment and experience this amazing accomplishment in gaming. Yes, this game is a simulator, but it’s a simulator that does so many things right.
