    There is no better game currently on the Xbox Series than Microsoft Flight Simulator; it is a complete joy on console, and this version even manages to make you forget that playing it on PC is also an option. Microsoft Flight Simulator is quite the feat for airplane simulators, a genuine hit that will follow you through hundreds of hours of gameplay.

    Microsoft Flight Simulator is a game that you have to play to understand just how incredible of an experience it is. It's an incomparable adventure that consistently surprises and delights. The game provides you with all the tools necessary to conquer the unthinkable task of flying the plane. Asobo has laid an incredible platform that will provide hours upon hours of joy for both casual gamers and flight experts alike, and it's only upwards from here.

    Microsoft Flight Simulator expands to Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S as a truly next-generation experience, presenting a technical showcase to flex these new systems. The title sports commendable optimizations on console and maintains solid performance, especially as a title reputable for pushing the best PC hardware out there. While Xbox Series X renders striking vistas with a 4K target, it's the Xbox Series S that takes the spotlight with incredible results on this $299 box. It's the toughest test yet on next-generation systems, but a slick port makes it snag-free.

    It's a visually stunning showcase that really pushes the Xbox Series X, making it a great first title to exist solely on Microsoft's latest hardware.

    Microsoft Flight Simulator deserves to be played - but it shouldn't be considered essential. It's a unique experience, one that won't capture everyone in the same way, but you really do owe it to yourself to find your house, your partner's, your parent's, your favourite holiday destination, and just fly over. The world looks very different from thousands of feet in the air, and for now, Microsoft Flight Simulator is the only way I can get that irresistible point of view.

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. I hope they use this amazing technology on more games going forward.

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

    Unexpectedly, one of the best gaming experiences ever. I never played flight simulators before, (and i never had Xbox as well) and I thoughtUnexpectedly, one of the best gaming experiences ever. I never played flight simulators before, (and i never had Xbox as well) and I thought its gonna be extremely boring. I think it is if you play alone, but when you play with friends - discovering other countries becomes an absolute fun. Me and my friend play this game every evening and we can't wait to go on new flights to other countries!… Expand
